Payment Inquires
Payments for purchase orders will be made by the Accounts Payable department within 45 days, from the date approved invoice is received in Accounting.

No payments will be issued prior to receipt and acceptance of goods and services by authorized district representatives.In order to avoid payment delays, vendors must ensure that the following procedures are followed at all times:
- Obtain a copy of the purchase order form prior to providing goods or services;
- Always include the purchase order number on the face of the invoice;
- E-Mail or mail invoices for purchases directly to Accounts Payable at the following address:
St. Lucie County Public Schools
Attn: Accounts Payable
501 NW University Blvd
Port St Lucie, FL 34986
accounts.payable@stlucieschools.org
- In order to expedite the payment process, all invoices should include as much billing detail as possible (e.g., invoice number, P.O. number, item description, unit price, quantity shipped, total price, etc.) and follow the same line item number sequence established by the purchase order; and
- If an invoice in connection with a purchase order generated by the District is not paid within 45 days, please contact Accounts Payable at (772) 429-3985 for detailed information.
