Florida's Governmental Districts
W. Neil Dorrill, PBSD Administrator
Overview
Florida, Colorado,Texas and California are unique in the number and popularity of special
purpose governments in their state.The responsibility of the general purpose government, i.e...
cities,counties,towns and villages in Florida is to provide a wide range of municipal services to
the public. Over 1,000 special purpose governments however are now in place in Florida
providing a variety of specific services to their residents. Special Purpose governments by
comparison are limited in their powers and authority to those special areas contained in their
enabling document or general law.
There are two types of special purpose districts in place in Florida, Independent and
Dependant. Special Purpose Districts are created by general law,special acts of the legislature,
local ordinance or the Governor and Cabinet for jurisdictions larger than 1,000 acres.
Independent districts are considered a unit of local government with full authority to govern
those services or responsibilities for which they were created. Examples of special purpose
Independent districts most common in Florida include community development,drainage,
flood control,fire/ rescue, hospital and mosquito control.
By comparison, Dependant District's governing bodies are the same as the general government
(city council,county commission etc.)Advisory boards may be both appointed and removed by
the governing body. In addition dependant district's budgets require the approval of the
governing body and must adhere to other local controlling policies involving purchasing, human
resources and risk management.
Finally, Districts may be either Taxing or Benefit based for revenue generation.Taxing Districts
utilize an ad-valorem property tax based on property valuation,while benefit districts charge a
flat or uniform rate of assessment regardless of value.
History
Benjamin Franklin established the first special district on December 7, 1736,when he created
the Union Fire Company of Philadelphia, a volunteer fire department. Residents in a certain
neighborhood paid a fee to receive fire protection services.Any resident not paying the fee had
no fire protection services.As a result many volunteer fire departments formed throughout
Philadelphia.
In Florida,the first special districts were created almost 190 years ago. Florida was a territory
consisting of two large counties, Escambia and St. Johns,whose border was defined by the
Suwannee River. Because no roads existed,the Territorial legislators had to make the long,
difficult sea voyage between the co-capitals, Pensacola and St. Augustine. In 1822,the
legislature voted to establish a new capital at a midpoint in what today is Tallahassee.
Early, Floridians realized that the transportation needs of a growing territory could be managed
by a group of local citizens organized into a district with vested powers. During the same
session to move the capital,the Territorial Legislature also authorized the creation of the first
special districts in Florida by enacting the Road, Highway,and Ferry Act of 1822. Created to
establish and maintain public roads,the first road districts had no taxation authority and solved
their labor needs by conscription. Men failing to report to work were fined one dollar per day.
In 1845,soon after Florida became a state,the Legislature went a step further and established
the first special district by special act. Five commissioners were empowered to drain the
"Alachua Savannah". To finance the project,the first special assessments were made on
landowners based on the number of acres owned and the benefit derived. 1
Summary
Special purpose districts empower or allow the public to participate in their own government at
a community or neighborhood level. Districts have broad financial powers and can be a
financing alternative to conventional/commercial sources of capital at more attractive rates
and terms.
Districts provide only those services as established by their enabling authority and collect
revenue from only those who receive benefits. Districts provide for higher level services as
determined by the public when the general purpose government may not place a priority on
those same services or is unable due to other needs.
Finally,districts are both highly accountable and transparent in their meeting,taxing and
auditing requirements which explain in part their popularity in Florida.
