Association Profile

Welcome to the Florida Association of Special Districts. Today, there are over 1,500 Independent and Dependent Special Districts in the state, governed by more than 30 statutes, involving over 500 local governments, collecting billions of dollars in revenues.

Special Districts provide limited purpose government on a local level.  Fire control, library, port & inlet, mosquito, water control, community development, roads, hospital, and other districts--all providing unique services, but all with the same need to be accountable and accessible to the citizens they serve.

The Department of Community Affairs is required (by Chapter 189, F.S.) to provide educational materials to Special Districts and has partnered with the Association to fulfill that requirement. Through the web site, newsletter, Certified District Manager Program, member meetings and annual conference, FASD continues to provide current news and trends to employees and governing board officials of Special Districts.
