Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie County

Block homes, slab floors.

Port St. Lucie is mostly single-story block on a concrete slab, which is good news for tile: a slab is a solid base. It still has to be flat, so we check it with a straightedge and grind or level the high and low spots before large tiles go down.

On walls, the old drywall in a shower comes out for cement board or a membrane system. Tile over drywall in a wet area is one of the most common reasons original showers fail.

General Development Corporation bought the land in 1958 and platted it into a grid of single-family lots, and the city incorporated in 1961. Most of the east side is single-story concrete block homes built in waves from the 1970s through the 2000s boom. West of I-95, St. Lucie West started in the early 1990s and Tradition in 2003.

What we build in Port St. Lucie

The cuts are planned before the first one.

Where the pattern starts decides where the cuts land. We dry-lay and mark the layout so slivers end up in corners, not across the middle of the wall, and veining on large tiles flows from one piece to the next.

What to know in Port St. Lucie.

Permits

City of Port St. Lucie Building Department

The city's Building Department issues residential permits through its online Citizen Access portal, with the permit office in Building B of the City Hall complex on SW Port St. Lucie Blvd. Applications follow the 8th Edition (2023) Florida Building Code.

Permit office
  • Thousands of older homes are still on septic, and the city runs a Septic to Sewer Conversion Program with financing. If you're adding a bathroom, plan around the tank and drainfield or check whether conversion reaches your street.

  • HOA communities can't restrict interior changes that aren't visible from outside under Florida Statute 720.3035, but older GDC neighborhoods often have no HOA at all.

  • A 1980s or 1990s house that was never updated usually still has its original builder-grade baths, with tile and fixtures at the end of their life.

    Working with Top Design Tile for our new‑construction home was one of the best decisions we made. They handled all of our flooring and bathroom tile work, and the results are truly beyond anything we imagined. Our design vision was brought to life so beautifully, especially the herringbone wood‑look tile with a brass border in the main living area. It’s the first thing people notice when they walk in, and it completely transformed the feel of the home and really elevates the space. The craftsmanship throughout the bathrooms is just as impressive. The mitered joints are flawless, the floating shower bench looks incredible, and the infinity niche in the spare bathroom was a design idea we’re so grateful they suggested. Every detail was done with precision, and you can tell Pedro and his team really take pride in their work. Communication throughout the entire process was amazing. We always felt heard, our input was respected, and we appreciated receiving picture updates along the way. He made a very stressful part of the build stress-free for us, and we really appreciate that. We are ecstatic with how everything turned out and would recommend Top Design Tile to anyone looking for high‑quality, thoughtful, and detail‑driven tile work!

Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Port St. Lucie?

Finish work like tile, cabinets, countertops and paint generally does not need one under the Florida Building Code. Moving drains, adding circuits, relocating a shower or changing walls does, and those permits come from the City of Port St. Lucie Building Department.

My house is still on septic. Can I add a bathroom?

Often, yes, but the septic system has to be part of the plan. The city's Septic to Sewer Conversion Program can connect eligible homes, and it offers financing for the connection fee.

How do I check if my neighborhood has an HOA?

Your title documents or the recorded declaration in county records will show it. Many of the original GDC-platted streets have none, while St. Lucie West, Tradition and most newer subdivisions do.

Light, built in

The glow is part of the tile plan.

Lit niches, floating vanities with light underneath, mirrors that glow from behind. It shows up in our favorite rooms because it gets drawn into the tile layout, not added after the wall is done.
