Community Development Districts (CDDs)

Community Development Districts (CDDs) are local government entities in Florida that plan, finance, and manage public infrastructure and services within a designated area. They are often used to develop new communities, funding projects like roads, utilities, and parks through special assessments on property owners. CDDs allow for organized, long-term maintenance and service delivery, with governance typically by appointed board members. They provide a structured approach to managing growth and infrastructure costs, ensuring community needs are met while spreading expenses across property owners who benefit from the improvements.
