What is a CDD?
A community development district (“CDD”) is a form of special-purpose local government established under the provisions of Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. The purpose of a CDD is to provide infrastructure for new communities, including roads, bridges, stormwater management and drainage systems, water utility distribution systems, public parks and trails, common area landscape and hardscape, street lights and regulatory signage, gates and gatehouses, and recreational amenities such as swimming pools and fitness facilities, as well as other infrastructure, services and functions specifically mentioned within the Florida Statutes.
What role does Moyer Management Group have with CDDs?
Moyer Management Group specializes in managing special districts in the State of Florida, the majority of which are community development districts. Our firm provides district management and administrative services in our role as an independent consultant to the district management company. Included in that function is the direct oversight of accounting and recording secretary services for each client, as well as field management for many of our clients who have significant CDD areas and facilities that require regular monitoring and maintenance.
Most CDDs perform their daily activities through contract management, where the CDD does not hire employees directly but approves contracts to various service providers to perform these tasks. Others involved in the district’s affairs include the district manager, legal counsel, engineer, construction engineer, as well as maintenance providers for landscaping, utilities, aquatics, security, and whatever infrastructure has to be constructed and maintained. These services and materials are provided on a contractual basis, and it is the ultimate responsibility of the district manager to ensure that the terms of each contract are met and performed on a satisfactory basis.
Further details of our functions and oversight responsibilities are more adequately described in our Services List.
