Improvement District Overview

Improvement Districts (ID) are local, special purpose government entities authorized by Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes as amended, and created by ordinance of the county as an alternative method of planning, acquiring, operating and maintaining community-wide improvements. A ID provides the “solution” to Florida’s need to provide valuable community infrastructure generated by growth, ultimately without overburdening other governments and their taxpaying residents.

ID Organization

The ID is organized similar to other local governments in Florida, in that the legislative body is composed of a five-member board known as the Board of Supervisors. The Board establishes the policy of the District in accordance with Florida law. The Board, by law, must hire a District Administrator and District Counsel. Staff members operate utilizing the same formalities as a County Administrator and County Attorney. The Board, through review of advertised Requests for Qualifications, ranks and selects a District Engineer to perform the engineering needs of the District. District Administration staff and the District Attorney administer the operations of the District and implement the Board’s policies and contracts.

District Administration

  • Preparation and submittal of a proposed operations and maintenance budgets for Board review and action

  • File all required forms and documents with state and local agencies
