The San Diego Chapter of California Special District Association represents over 40 Special Districts in San Diego County. The San Diego chapter is an affiliate of the California Special Districts Association which provides legislative advocacy, education and member services for all special districts. The California Special Districts Association (CSDA) is a 501c(6), not-for-profit association that was formed in 1969 to promote good governance and improve core local services through professional development, advocacy, and other services for all types of independent special districts.
Special districts are independent public agencies that deliver core local services to communities, such as water, fire protection, parks and recreation, healthcare, sanitation, mosquito abatement, ports, libraries, public cemeteries and more. Districts are established by voters and their funding is approved by voters in order to meet specific needs through focused service. They can be specially molded to serve large regions or small neighborhoods depending on the need.
More information about Special Districts can be found on the California Special District website www.csda.net.
