Special Districts

Special Districts are very similar to counties and municipalities. However, special districts are units of special-purpose government as opposed to units of general-purpose government. Florida’s laws generally treat them alike. A special district . . . • is a unit of local special-purpose government (it has a governing board with policy-making powers) • operates within limited boundaries • is created by general law, special act, local ordinance, or by rule of the Governor and Cabinet.Special Districts

Special Districts
A Dependent Special District has at least one of the following characteristics:
• Its governing body members are identical to the governing body members of a single county or a single municipality.
• Its governing body members are appointed by the governing body of a single county or a single municipality.
• During unexpired terms, its governing body members are subject to removal at will by the governing body of a single county or a single municipality.
• Its budget requires approval through an affirmative vote by the governing body of a single county or a single municipality.
• Its budget can be vetoed by the governing body of a single county or a single municipality. An Independent Special District does not have any dependent characteristics. A special district that includes more than one county is independent unless the special district lies wholly within the boundaries of a single municipality.
