Frequently Asked Questions

St. Lucie County Drainage FAQs

Do I need a permit for drainage work in St. Lucie County?

SFWMD Environmental Resource Permits are needed for new development. Properties in special taxing districts may need separate approval, and coordination with South Fork Drainage District may be required.
