A Community Development District is a local unit of special purpose government created to provide for the long-term, specific needs of its residents. Created pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, a CDD's main powers are to plan, finance, construct, operate, and maintain community-wide infrastructure and services specifically for the benefit of its residents.  Within the entire Viera area, there are only two CDDs - Heritage Isle CDD and Viera East CDD.
