St. Lucie County regulates walls alongside fences under LDC 8.00.04: walls must be built of conventional materials such as concrete, stone or brick, in a workmanlike, sound manner, with proper permits and Florida Building Code compliance. Masonry walls are restricted in utility and drainage easements.
St. Lucie County LDC 8.00.04.A requires fences, gates and walls to be constructed of conventional, traditional materials (concrete, stone, brick, aluminum, iron, steel, chain link, PVC or composite), in a workmanlike manner and of sound, sturdy construction, with permits and FBC compliance. Height limits mirror the fence rules (4 feet front yard, 6 feet other yards). In Port St. Lucie, Code 158.216(A) prohibits masonry or stone walls in utility and drainage easements on single-family lots unless the zoning administrator and City Engineer grant a specific waiver. Engineered retaining walls also fall under Florida Building Code structural review.
An unpermitted or failing wall, or one blocking a drainage easement, may be ordered repaired, removed, or relocated by code enforcement.
