Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many
pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine
whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects
the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as
published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number
printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling
an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

elevation of the centerline of the adjacent roadway and the property on which
the fence, wall or landscape berm is to be located, the Planning and Develop-
ment Services Director or designee shall have the ability to utilize the
pre -development grade for the measurement of height in those instances. The
following standards are also applicable:
a. Columns are allowed, including decorative features, caps and finials, when
integrated into a fence or wall, and may exceed the permitted height by a
maximum of one (1) foot. Columns which exceed permitted height shall be
not more than three (3) feet in width and shall be spaced at least six (6)
feet apart.
b. Entry features, such as columns and gates, located contiguous to and on
both sides of the main access (driveway) may be permitted up to six (6) feet

from the edge of the roadway.
C. Two (2) individual column entrance features on the side of the pedestrian
walkway or gate may be permitted at a maximum height of five (5) feet,
provided an obstruction to cross -visibility is not created.
2. In any other required yard, a fence, wall or landscape berm is allowed at a
maximum height of six (6) feet above the elevation of the centerline of the
roadway adjacent to the property, except that:
a. If a residential lot adjoins a non -residentially zoned lot, fence height may
be increased to a maximum of eight (8) feet along the adjoining lot lines.

the fence, wall or landscape berm height may be increased to a maximum
of eight (8) feet along the street right-of-way, as depicted in Figure 8-1
below, provided that no other provision of this Code is violated.
3. When it is necessary for safety or security purposes for a public use or public
facility, the Planning and Development Services Director may authorize a fence
of up to six (6) feet in height in any required yard, with the exception of across
the front property line contiguous to a street right-of-way. In no event shall the
fence be permitted to create a traffic hazard or obstruct cross -visibility along a
right-of-way and/or at intersections.
4. Fences that are constructed, in whole or in part, of cattle wire, chicken wire,
razor wire or barbed wire or similar materials are not permitted within the
RE-1, RE-2, RS-2, RS-3, RS-4, RMH-5, RM-5, RM-7, RM-9, RM-11, RM-15 and
HIRD zoning districts. Nontraditional materials, including, but not limited to
tires, mufflers, hubcaps, or broken glass are prohibited.
5. Notwithstanding subsection 8.00.04 BA., residential properties within the
RE-1, RE-2, RS-2, RS-3, RS-4, RMH-5, RM-5, RM-7, RM-9, RM-11, RM-15 and
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 36 8:6 Adopted May 19, 2009
ACCESSORY, TEMPORARY STRUCTURES AND USES 8.00.04
HIRD that are contiguous to a local, state, or federal named preserve area with
an existing cattle wire or chicken wire fence installed by a local, state, or federal
agency, may construct a fence with cattle wire or chicken wire within the rear
and side yard, so as to provide for consistent fence design and material to the
existing fence. In no event shall a fence be permitted within the required front
yard or allowed to create a hazard or be inconsistent with the remaining
provisions of Section 8.00.04.
6. Notwithstanding subsection 8.00.04 BA., residential properties within the
RE-1, RE-2, R/C, RS-2, RS-3, RS-4, RMH-5, and RM-5 zoning districts, located
on a parcel of one (1) acre or greater with a lawfully permitted dwelling unit and
on an unpaved, privately maintained road, may construct a fence in whole or in
part, of cattle wire, chicken wire, or similar materials. This exception within
this subsection does not apply to razor wire or barbed wire. The fence height
within the required front yard complies with subsection 8.00.04 B.1. Such
fences shall be maintained and kept free of hazardous protrusions or loose
wires. A building permit shall be required for the construction of any fence
authorized under this subsection and must include a survey depicting the
location of the proposed fence in relation to property boundaries, easements,
and existing structures.
C. In non-residential zoning districts, a fence, a maximum of eight (8) feet in height,
may be located anywhere on the lot. In no event shall the fence be permitted to create
a traffic hazard or obstruct cross -visibility along a right-of-way and/or at intersec-
tions.
D. Hedges of any height may be located within any required front, rear or side yard
provided that any hedge located at the intersection of two (2) streets shall comply
with the cross -visibility provisions of Section 7.09.04(D).

wire, and post -and -rail fencing within the Agricultural Residential (AR-1),
Agricultural-1 (AG-1), Agricultural-2.5 (AG-2.5), or Agricultural-5 (AG-5) zoning
districts, at a maximum height not to exceed six (6) feet above the elevation of the
centerline of the roadway adjacent to the property on which the fence is located;
however, the fence is subject to floodplain management regulations. Within the
Agricultural Residential (AR-1) zoning district, fence height within the required
front yard shall comply with subsection 8.00.04.B.1. The property owner is responsible
for ensuring the location of the fence is wholly on their property and that the fence
does not create an obstruction to cross -visibility.
F. A permit shall not be required for a fence located on a property used for bona fide
agricultural purposes, classified as agricultural land pursuant to F.S. § 193.461. The
fence is exempt from the Florida Building Code; however, the fence is subject to
floodplain management regulations. The property owner is responsible for ensuring
the location of the fence is wholly on their property and that the fence does not create

an obstruction to cross -visibility. A barbed wire fence and electrically charged fence
may be constructed subject to the requirements of applicable State and Federal laws
and regulations.
G. Fencing or walling of vacant properties shall not be permitted. A fence or wall is an
accessory structure, as defined in Section 2.00.00. As provided in Section 8.00.01,
accessory structures and uses are permitted only in connection with any principal
lawfully existing permitted use or conditional use.
H. No fence, wall or hedge shall be constructed or installed in such a manner as to
interfere with drainage on or adjacent to the property. Fences and walls in regulated
floodways that have the potential to block the passage of floodwaters shall meet the
limitations of Section 6.05.09(C)(4).

2-17-2026)
8.00.05. Swimming Pools.
A. Fencing Required. In addition to the current standards of F.S. § 515.27, the following
is required: All swimming pools in the unincorporated areas of the County, unless entirely
screened in, shall be completely enclosed with a permanent fence or wall at least four (4) feet
high and so constructed as to be not readily climbable by small children. All gates or doors
providing access to the pool area shall be securely locked when the pool area is not in actual
use or shall be equipped with a self -closing and self -latching device installed on the pool side
for keeping the gates or doors securely closed at all times when the pool area is not in actual
use, except that the door of any dwelling which forms a part of the enclosure need not be so
locked or equipped. During construction of a swimming pool, the swimming pool contractor
shall be required to take reasonable steps to secure the construction site so that the
swimming pool under construction is not readily accessible to small children.
B. Procedures for Waiver from Fencing Requirement. The owner of an existing or proposed
swimming pool may apply for a waiver of the requirement of Section 8.00.05.A for fencing.
The Planning and Development Services Director shall have the authority to grant waivers
of Section 8.00.05.A. The owner must demonstrate that the proposed, built, or natural
conditions provide equal or greater protection than the required four (4) foot high permanent
fence. The waiver may be administratively approved, subject to any necessary conditions,
including but not limited to the owner providing a notarized statement recorded in the public
record to the effect that the proposed, built, or natural conditions must remain in perpetuity
to ensure adequate protection is provided. If the Planning and Development Services
Director does not find that conditions provide equal or greater protection than the required
four (4) foot high permanent fence, the owner may appeal the decision to the Board of County
Commissioners within thirty (30) days after rendition of such decision. If the Board of
County Commissioners determines that such a swimming pool is not or would not be a
hazard to small children by reason of its location, construction, surrounding vegetation or
other natural or man-made barriers, the Board may, after a public hearing of which all
property owners within five hundred (500) feet are given at least ten (10) days notice by
certified mail, waive the requirement that such pool be fenced. In lieu of a total waiver of the
fence requirement, the Board may attach reasonable conditions including a partial reduction
in the height requirement.
