What is a Special District?

Special districts are a form of local government. They are created by their constituents to meet specific service needs for their communities. Most perform a single function such as water delivery, fire protection, wastewater or cemetery maintenance, to name a few. Some, like county service districts, provide multiple services. Check out our brochure for more details and learn about everything special districts have to offer.

How Can I Get Involved with My Special District?

There are multiple ways to get involved with your local district! You can join their team as an employee, board member, or volunteer. All special districts have their own unique opportunities for involvement. We advise that you check their website or reach out to them by phone to learn how.
