Residential developments in Clay County where a governmental unit was created to serve the specific needs of its community are selecting candidates for their development district’s Board of Supervisors.
Community Development Districts’ responsibilities may include stormwater management, potable and irrigation water supply, sewer and wastewater management, and streetlights. These costs are distributed among each property owner through their property tax bills.

These districts’ supervisors are elected by residents of the community. Most of these candidates are unopposed.
In Clay County this year, six CDD supervisor seats are contested. They will appear on the ballots of only those voters who live in these residential areas.

An earlier version of this story included the names of candidates for a seat in the Armstrong Community Development District. Since the time the information was initially collected, one of the two candidates withdrew from the race, so the office is no longer contested, and does not appear on the general election ballot.
