2026 Voter’s Guide: Clay Community Development Districts

Nonpartisan races open to voters within special residential tax districts

2026 Voter's Guide (WJXT)

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.
