Records Retrieval Policy
You may submit your request via the internet, in person, by phone, or by fax.
Please Note: Florida has very broad public records laws. Most written communications to or from County officials regarding County business are public records available to the public and media upon request. It is the policy of St. Lucie County that all County records shall be open for personal inspection, examination and / or copying. Your written or e-mail communications will be subject to public disclosure unless an exemption applies to the communication.
