Why are special districts required to pay a $175 annual fee to the Department of Community Affairs?
The purpose of the fee is to pay the costs for the Department to administer the Uniform Special District Accountability Act of 1989 through the Special District Information Program. This Act requires the Department to establish a fee schedule for this purpose. All special districts must follow this fee schedule, which is set up to correspond with the fiscal year that most special districts must use (October 1 through September 30). The Special District Information Program sends an invoice to all special districts during the first quarter of the fiscal year. Each special district must comply with its specific fee requirement by the due date on the invoice (approximately 60 days after the invoice date) to avoid late fees. Certain special districts with annual revenues of less than $3,000 can apply for a zero fee.
