Port St. Lucie prohibits signage advertising home occupations in residential zoning districts. No on-premises signs, banners, or window advertising are permitted for businesses operating from residential property.
Under the Port St. Lucie Sign Code (Chapter 158, Article VI) and home occupation standards, residential dwellings used for home businesses cannot display any exterior signage indicating the presence of a business. This includes freestanding signs, window signs, vehicle wraps parked prominently in driveways, and sandwich boards. The intent is to preserve the residential character of neighborhoods. Temporary contractor or open-house signs are allowed only for permitted purposes and must be removed promptly. Magnetic vehicle signs on work trucks are permitted provided the vehicle is parked in a garage or otherwise screened when not in use. Violations are addressed through Code Enforcement with progressive fines under the Code Enforcement Board process established in Chapter 162 of Florida Statutes.
First violation: written warning and 10 days to remove. Continued non-compliance: Code Enforcement Board fines up to $250 per day (first violation) or $500 per day (repeat violations) per FL 162.09.
