As a local contractor that lives in Port St. Lucie with the fact that I have to deal with the building department quite often, regarding permits, and public works. I would like to commend the city of Port Saint Lucie‘s operating practices versus any other surrounding city/county. You guys are so much easier than Martin / Vero St Lucie County / City of Fort Pierce ect . Thank you and keep up the great work!

How do you even get a hold of anyone in this building department anymore?! 1.5hr phone wait times, no responses to emails, the new self service online portal isn't even updated! This is the WORST experience we've had!

Pretty Fair Building Department. I will say that since I pull permits in PSL daily, there is sometimes errors on part of the building department like any other. However this department by far has the most simple process for pulling permits and there is rarely any confusion. The staff always has a nice attitude towards me regardless of what questions or concerns I may have.

We were dealing with terrible communication from a local builder. My client was down to the wire on her rate lock & we needed the CO to get it done. The Building Dept Gave us Concise Direction on What to do to Speed Up the Process. Thank you Again For Going Above & Beyond Tracy Valure, Beth Barense, Michael Peter & Vincent Montalto!!

Can you build a carport and concrete base next to your existing garage? If so what is the ruling on distance from the garage?

Dudley Whited | Sep 21, 2021
Cad Con | Sep 21, 2021

Well you have a few issues one would be set back from a property line The other would be non-permeable surfaces on the property. to my knowledge I do not believe there is a restriction regarding how close a carport can be to a garage. If you look up your address on the property appraisers website it will list what your zoning is once you know your zoning you can go online to the city of Port St Lucie municipal code and look up the setback requirements for your zoning type specifically you will want to look for yard sizes typically in a residential two area setbacks are 25' in the front 10 ft on the sides and 25 ft in the rear. You can also call up the city of Port St lucie's planning and zoning department and ask them what your setbacks and what your non-permeable surface limits are. Non-permeable surfaces are things like a concrete slab things that are permeable would be something like brick pavers or grass or gravel. Be sure to get a permit and make sure you get a termite treatment.

Are they allowed to do heavy construction at 7.35 am on Saturday, and continue on Sunday at 8 am? Occurs on corner of yacolt and Abraham? Some builder is slapping up a home, leaving nowhere for our protected species.

You should be able to add to the present building as long as you stay within the proper setback from the property line. It is best to call the building department and talk to them about this.
