St. Augustine at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the St Augustine Lighthouse, FL station, about 2 miles away.
Planning Around the Weather
DOE's Building America map puts St. Johns County in the Hot-Humid climate region (IECC 2021 zone 2A, PNNL county guide). This region pairs heat with humidity for much of the year; for long rentals in the hot months, ask how often units will be serviced. Freezing nights are rare, about 5 a year, so water-carrying units can usually run through the winter.
Rain and Ground
About 51 inches of precipitation falls in an average year, with about 16 days of an inch or more, in the top tenth of U.S. places in our data. Soft ground is the risk: units belong on a firm, level base the service truck can reach without crossing a soggy lawn, and an ADA unit needs a route that does not turn to mud.
Near the Shoreline
St. Augustine's Census reference point is about 2 miles from the shoreline in the Census Bureau's TIGER coastline layer (the layer includes Great Lakes shores and some bays). Beach and waterfront sites mean sand and soft ground: trucks need a firm approach, ADA units a firm route (loose sand is not one), and exposed units staking.
Heat
About 62 days a year reach 90°F or more, more than most U.S. places in our data, most of them in the summer months. For long rentals in the hot, humid months, ask how often units will be serviced. In the summer months, ask how often units will be pumped and restocked, and put them where they get afternoon shade.
Job Sites and Home Projects
New Housing
About 18.4% of St. Augustine's housing units were built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024), above the U.S. share of 11.4% and higher than three in four U.S. places in our data: newer construction sits alongside older stock, so job sites range from new homes to additions and repairs. About 4.7% were built in 2020 or later, in the top tenth of U.S. places in our data.
Homes From the 1970s and 1980s
The median year built for St. Augustine's housing is 1980 (ACS 2020–2024), newer than most U.S. places in our data. Housing from that era is now 35 to 55 years old; crews replacing roofs, windows or mechanical systems on it need a toilet on site like any other crew.
Older Paint on Renovation Jobs
A large share of St. Augustine's housing, about 50% of units, was built before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule covers paid work that disturbs painted surfaces in homes built before 1978, and OSHA’s lead standard for construction (29 CFR 1926.62) requires adequate hand-washing facilities for workers exposed to lead. If the crew will sand, scrape or demolish old paint, put one of the hand-wash stations next to the toilet.
Apartments, Townhouses and Rentals
The most common housing type is detached houses, about 56% of units (lower than most U.S. places in our data), followed by buildings with five or more units at about 29% (ACS 2020–2024). Detached houses usually have a driveway or yard where a crew's unit can stand within reach of the service truck. Apartment and condo projects bring larger crews, and a property manager decides where units go. About 37% of occupied homes are rented (owner share lower than most U.S. places in our data), so check who controls the property before a unit goes on it.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 scales with headcount: 45 workers on an apartment or condo site need 2 toilet seats and 2 urinals, 210 need 5 of each. More on sizing: construction rentals in Florida.
Events, Weddings and Parties
A four-hour summer event for 2,000 people needs 12 units on the PSAI event chart, or 14 to 15 with alcohol (PSAI adds 10–20%). Every cluster of restrooms needs at least 5% accessible units, rounded up, and with heavy rain this common the ADA unit needs a route that stays firm when the grass is wet.
With only about 5 freezing nights a year, summer is the season to plan around; for a summer wedding, a restroom trailer brings air conditioning but needs a power source, while deluxe units need no hookups. For beach and waterfront events, units stand at the edge of the sand on firm ground the service truck can reach. For a party at an apartment complex or a rented home, the property manager or landlord decides where units can stand. More: event rentals in Florida and wedding restrooms in Florida.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
St. Augustine is an incorporated city with its own municipal government. For an event on public land, or a unit that will stand on a street, sidewalk or in a park, ask the St. Augustine city government before you book what applies.
Beaches and waterfront parks can be managed by a separate parks, port or state agency; ask whoever manages that land.

Can a porta potty go on the beach in St. Augustine?
Only where the provider can service it and the land manager allows it. Most units stand at the edge of the sand on firm ground; an ADA unit needs a firm route, which loose sand is not.

Who do I ask about a permit for an event or a unit on the street in St. Augustine?
Ask the St. Augustine city government. Its special-events or street-use office can say what applies to your date.
