What makes special districts special?

local service specialists

Special districts are Local Service Specialists

Public agencies formed, governed, and owned by the community.

Designed to meet the essential needs of the families and businesses they serve. Used to provide a new service or enhanced level of service to a community within limited boundaries.

Governed and managed with a focused mission that is fully-integrated from their board setting policy and budgetary direction to their front-line workers dedicated to service delivery.

The “special sauce” is a combination of:

Focused service delivery that meets a specific community need

A publicly owned agency governed by a local board

Revenue authority that empowers specialists in the field
