Testimonials
“ We have had great experiences with permitting in the City of Port St. Lucie building department. They are accommodating and efficient. We work with several jurisdictions and yours is definitely one of the best.”
“ I was incredibly impressed by everyone who worked there and the process. I looked forward to the email updates and ease of scheduling inspections. I can’ t say one bad thing.”
Solar underground piping for Costco
“ Compared to other Building Departments we have submitted permits for, this one was by far the best. Great in-person and phone service. The permit review was very fast, and the inspectors were great.”
