Description: Community Development Districts (CDDs) are independent, special-purpose units of government established to finance basic services within a development, including infrastructure construction, services, and maintenance. Common infrastructure improvements provided by CDDs include drainage, potable water, sewerage, roads, and parks. Developers seek CDD approval to obtain low-cost financing by issuing tax-exempt bonds, with lower interest rates. CDDs also have the power to collect fees, levy lienable assessments, or ad valorem taxes against properties within the project for repayment. CDDs are required to have a five-member board of supervisors, elected by the landowners.
