Port St. Lucie Benefits

It’s no surprise that more people are choosing to call Port St. Lucie home. This thriving Treasure Coast city offers year-round sunshine, easy beach access, and a lifestyle that makes Florida living even easier for homebuyers. Here are some top homeownership perks and key things to know about living in Port St. Lucie.
  • Plenty of DMV Options. With three locations—Walton Rd. in Port St. Lucie, Virginia Ave. in Fort Pierce, and SW Village Parkway in Tradition—updating licenses and registrations is easy. Appointments can be scheduled online for convenience.
  • Voter registration can easily be updated online. There are also four locations for in-person updates: Renaissance Business Park in Fort Pierce, St. Lucie West South County Annex, Walton Rd. County Administration Annex, and the Tradition Tax Collector's Office.
  • Hunting and fishing licenses. Florida residents aged 16 to 64 must apply at the tax collector's office or online. A hunter safety course is required for those born after June 1975, and fishing licenses are needed for both saltwater and freshwater species.
  • A new wave of commercial development adds career growth to the list of Port St. Lucie benefits. Amazon, Cheney Brothers, FedEx, and Derecktor Shipyard are just a few of the global names with operations in the area.
  • Commuter Travel is a Breeze. Easy access to the Turnpike, I-95, and US 1 makes commuting for work or leisure convenient. That includes weekend getaways to Orlando's theme parks or the energy of South Florida!
  • Homestead exemptions are available for permanent Port St. Lucie residents, including seniors, veterans, active-duty military, and first responders. To qualify, applicants must meet specific Florida residency requirements. More details are available here.
  • Say Goodbye to Income Tax. Florida is one of the few states with no state taxes on income, pensions, IRA/401(k) withdrawals, or retirement income. There are also no inheritance or estate taxes, making it easier for families to pass on assets.
