Special Taxing Districts
A special taxing district (STD) is a mechanism used by communities, wherein property owners elect to pay special assessments levied on their properties in order to receive public services and/or improvements, which could not otherwise conveniently or equitably be provided.
In Miami-Dade County some of these services include, but are not limited to:
- Street lighting
- Security guard services
- Guardhouses
- Lake maintenance
