What are Community Development Districts?
Community Development Districts (or CDD’s) are special purpose local governments created to provide citizens many of the beneficial services which might otherwise be provided by a town or a county. The operating costs of CDD’s are paid by taxes, assessments or fees that the District charges for services provided. In the Piney-Z Community Development District, construction of roads, sewer and water, landscaping within right-of-ways, and storm water were paid for by assessments and were turned over to the City of Tallahassee for maintenance. Construction operation and maintenance of private parks, recreational areas and amenities will be paid for by the fixed amenity fees agreed to by members of the Piney-Z Plantation Homeowners Association. The assessments are a once-a-year charge, which appear on the resident’s annual property tax bill. This charge goes toward paying off the cost of building the infrastructure and in the future will maintain it.
