Counts are permits issued per calendar month as Port St. Lucie publishes them to its open-data feed — not a complete census; a change in what the city publishes moves them too. The current month is left out, and the most recent months are provisional. A forecast is a statistical estimate with a range, not a prediction for any project. Informational only.

Typical, not guaranteed: individual permits vary with project scope, application completeness and plan-review workload. Days are calendar days from application to issuance; applications still pending are counted as not-yet-issued rather than dropped. Informational only, not legal advice. How we calculate approval times.
Housing law — Florida
In Florida, accessory dwelling units are regulated locally — state law (§163.31771) encourages but does not require cities and counties to allow them, so rules vary by jurisdiction and there is no statewide ADU mandate.
Florida has no statewide 'missing middle' zoning law; instead the Live Local Act (2023, amended 2024–2025) preempts local zoning to allow larger affordable multifamily projects on commercial, industrial and mixed-use land.
