As required by section 189.061. Florida Statutes, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity maintains the Official List of Special Districts, which includes all special districts in Florida. For more information about special districts, including the definition of dependent and independent status and the methods to create special districts, see the Florida Special District Handbook - Introduction to Special Districts.
Before the online version of the Official List of Special Districts existed, a publication was created each October and mailed to state and local agencies. The paper version was discontinued in 2002 when the online database became available.
The following legacy files from our archives may be useful for researching historical information about Florida's special districts. Each list is sorted alphabetically by the county in which the special district is located.
