Port St. Lucie Code 158.216(A) prohibits chicken wire and barbed wire fences in residential districts. Vinyl-coated welded wire may only be used as an interface on an existing wooden fence for added security. Masonry or stone walls are prohibited in utility and drainage easements on single-family residential lots unless a specific waiver has been approved by the zoning administrator and City Engineer, and all metal or wood fences in those easements must be constructed to be easily removable. St. Lucie County likewise limits fences to conventional materials under LDC 8.00.04.A.
Prohibited-material fences may be denied a permit or ordered removed through code enforcement.
