Do building codes affect insurance in Port St. Lucie?
Parts of the county, especially areas near the coast, fall in the Florida Building Code's wind-borne debris region, where new construction needs impact-rated openings or shutters. Your building department can confirm whether a given address is inside it.
Homes built or re-roofed after the statewide Florida Building Code took effect in 2002 tend to document better on a wind mitigation report; older homes may need a 4-point inspection.
