About each permit
St. Lucie County Certificate of Competency (Contractors)
County Code Ch. 10, Art. II sets the St. Lucie County Certificate of Competency for contractors working in unincorporated St. Lucie County, administered by the Contractor Licensing Department with the Contractors Examining Board. Applicants must pass the examination with a score of 70 percent (s. 10-57), and s. 10-59 sets minimum net worth requirements, including $10,000.00 for a general contractor. Section 10-24 provides that all fees are established by resolution of the board of county commissioners. The figures in this record are those printed on the county's current application forms, revised October 3, 2025 and linked from the Contractor Applications page; the forms label the $150.00 application fee and the $35.00 journeyman electrician fee "(Subject to change)". Under s. 10-60(a) every certificate expires annually at midnight on September 30; a certificate not renewed becomes inoperative and may be restored within 12 months on payment of the late renewal fee prescribed by resolution. A contractor working inside Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce or St. Lucie Village follows that municipality's rules. Contractor Licensing Department: 2300 Virginia Ave, Ft Pierce, FL 34982 (772-462-1672).
