Welcome to The Villages Community Development Districts, your local special purpose government.
The Villages’ special purpose districts are governed by a Council-Manager form of government, the most popular structure of local government in the United States. This form of governance combines the strong political leadership of elected officials with the strong managerial experience of an appointed manager. All power and authority to set policy rests with the elected governing bodies.
Under the leadership of the District Manager, each member of the Senior Management Team is assigned as a representative to support the various Boards and Committees that govern The Villages community.
Greetings! As your District Manager, I extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of our dedicated District staff and esteemed Board of Supervisors. Whether you’re a long-standing member of our community, a recent addition, or just passing through, we’re delighted to have you visit our District website, your go-to resource for valuable information.
The District plays a vital role in addressing Florida’s growth needs by providing essential community infrastructure without imposing undue burdens on other governments and their taxpayers. With over 25 special purpose Districts, The Villages community thrives on a model that ensures higher construction standards and sustainable solutions for operation and maintenance.
Community Development Districts (CDDs) like ours have emerged as a significant advancement, allowing us to plan, finance, construct and maintain community-wide infrastructure and services tailored specifically for your benefit. Through a Council-Manager form of government, elected members focus on community needs, while a professional manager ensures efficient day-to-day operations. This unique structure allows municipalities and counties to concentrate on general government issues, avoiding duplication of services. Importantly, it generates funds for projected growth without overburdening taxpayers, as those benefiting from special district services bear the financial responsibility.
Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to provide top-tier services, spanning utilities, sanitation, recreation, property management, finance and public safety. The Villages, renowned for its breathtaking scenery and world-class amenities, stands as a testament to the high standards of excellence we strive to uphold in every facet of our community. We are committed to treating our residents, customers, and visitors with dignity and respect, anticipating their needs and exceeding expectations. Our goal is to be a premier, forward-thinking community that not only caters to the present but paves the way for future generations.
Your participation, input and support are integral to our success. I encourage you to stay actively involved in the workings of your District Government, as together, we shape the vibrant community we all call home.
