After-the-Fact Permits in Port St. Lucie, FL

Did work get done on your home without a permit? You’re not alone — it happens with additions, garage conversions, enclosed porches, and renovations all over St. Lucie County. Florida GC Group helps homeowners bring unpermitted work into compliance with an after-the-fact permit: we assess what was built, prepare the required plans and paperwork, submit to the city, and see the inspections through.

Work That Often Needs an After-the-Fact Permit

Room additions and structural changes
Garage and carport conversions
Enclosed porches, lanais, and patios
Interior renovations done without permits
Sheds and accessory structures
Work flagged during a home sale or by a code enforcement notice

How the Process Works

Assessment — We look at the work that was done and what the city will require to permit it after the fact.
Plans & paperwork — We prepare the drawings and documents the building department needs.
City submission — We submit the permit application and respond to reviewer questions.
Inspections & close-out — We coordinate inspections so the work can be approved and the permit closed.

Why Owners Take Care of It

Unpermitted work tends to surface at the worst times — when selling a home, refinancing, filing an insurance claim, or after a notice from code enforcement. Handling it with a licensed general contractor means the paperwork, the plans, and the inspections are done in the right order, by a company that stands behind the process.

Common Questions

Can you permit work that another contractor did without a permit?

In many cases, yes. The first step is an assessment of what was built so we can tell you honestly what the city will require.

What if the work doesn’t meet current code?

Then we’ll explain what needs to be corrected as part of the permit process before we submit — no surprises halfway through.

How long does it take?

It depends on the scope of the work and the city’s review. We’ll give you a realistic picture after the assessment.
