About Grand Oaks CDD

The Grand Oaks Community Development District (“District”) is an independent local unit of special-purpose government created pursuant to and existing under the provisions of Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, and established by Ordinance 2018-4.7, adopted of the Board of County Commissioners of St. Johns County, Florida which became effective on August 21, 2018.

The Grand Oaks CDD is organized similar to other local governments in Florida, in that the legislative body is composed of a five-member board known as the Board of Supervisors. The Board establishes the policy of the District in accordance with Florida law. The Board, by law, must hire a District Administrator and District Counsel. Staff members operate utilizing the same formalities as a County Administrator and County Attorney. The Board, through review of advertised Requests for Qualifications, ranks and selects a District Engineer to perform the engineering needs of the District. District Administration staff and the District Attorney administer the operations of the District and implement the Board’s policies and contracts.

The Grand Oaks CDD operates within the ethics provisions as outlined by the Florida Commission on Ethics.
