Every Florida CDD carries a set of statutory obligations that run on their own calendars. Miss one and the consequences range from a state inquiry to bond-covenant complications. CDDStream can surface and track these obligations as factual flags for you and your district counsel to verify. It does not certify compliance or give legal advice; it helps you see, in one place, what each district owes and when.
The obligations every district carries
Website content (189.069)
Every independent special district, including CDDs, must maintain an official website that includes specific content: the district charter, meeting agendas, budgets, audits, and contact information for the registered agent (189.069(1)). The website must be updated within a reasonable time after changes.
CDDStream can flag whether the required website content categories are present in the district's document set and surface the statutory requirement when a question touches on it.
Meeting notice (189.015, 286.011)
CDD board meetings require public notice. Regular meetings must be noticed at least 7 days in advance by publication (189.015(1)). The Sunshine Law (286.011) requires that all meetings be open to the public and that no board business be discussed outside a noticed meeting.
Budget adoption (190.008)
The board must adopt a budget each fiscal year. The process includes a proposed budget, a public hearing, and board adoption. The budget must be adopted by resolution.
Audit filing (190.007, 218.39)
CDDs are subject to audit requirements under both Chapter 190 and Chapter 218. The annual financial audit must be completed and filed with the Auditor General within specific timeframes. Failure to file can trigger state oversight.
Annual financial report (218.32)
Each special district must file an annual financial report with the Department of Financial Services by a specified deadline.
How CDDStream helps
For each obligation, CDDStream can:
- Return the cited statute text that creates the obligation
- Surface the relevant provision from the district's own documents (e.g., the budget resolution, the meeting schedule)
- Flag the factual status of the requirement based on the documents on file
CDDStream does not determine whether a district is in compliance. That determination is for the district manager, board, and counsel. CDDStream provides the factual inputs to that determination.
The value for district managers managing multiple districts
When you manage 50 or 200 districts, the compliance surface area compounds. The same statutory obligations apply to every district, but each district has its own fiscal year, its own meeting schedule, and its own document history. CDDStream can provide a consistent compliance-awareness layer across your entire portfolio: same statutes, same flags, every district.
CDDStream is software; it is not a law firm and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Verify specifics with your district counsel.
