RFP 2024-001 – District Operations Analysis_
Florida Association of Special Districts (FASD)
Special districts provide the services that connect Florida’s communities, reliably and efficiently, so you can focus on what truly matters. Florida has over 1,700 special districts, each focused on a single type of service, such as water control, fire rescue and safety, health care, community development and beautification, mosquito control, transportation infrastructure, and more. Municipalities and counties have broad powers to provide general services, while special districts provide more specialized services through very limited powers – most of them serve only a single purpose. Independent or dependent special districts operate within specific, defined areas, enabling them to provide services in the most efficient way possible. Local Services for Local Residents The most trusted government is the one closest to the people it serves – and no government is closer than a special district. Many special districts have long histories in their communities, often providing services before other units of local government have even been established. District officials are personally invested in providing the best quality of life and making choices that benefit their local community. Financial Accountability & Transparency The fiscally responsible governing boards of special districts commit to using limited budgets and taxpayer dollars responsibly. State law limits how special districts can spend taxpayer dollars and requires them to follow transparent financial processes. Special districts fund one service, effectively and efficiently, and are held accountable by the residents that they serve.
