Yes, with good reason. The community’s stormwater facilities and wetlands, main entryway monuments and gates, general community permanent signs, landscaping of collector roads and common areas, neighborhood parks and green spaces, trails and recreational amenity areas and facilities will need to be operated, managed, and maintained into perpetuity. To provide such management and oversight duties a Community Development District (CDD/“District”) is created. The District’s full name is Laurel Road Community Development District, is an independent special district created pursuant to and existing under the provisions of Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, and established by the City of Venice, Florida by and through the City Council for the City of Venice, Florida approval of Ordinance No. 2020-13 on April 28, 2020. The District includes approximately 299.286 acres of land within its boundaries in the City of Venice, Florida.

A Community Development District is a governmental entity created to serve the long-term specific needs of a community. It is a method of financing, operating, and maintaining community-wide improvements and services for a community. To finance the community infrastructure, the CDD issues what are called Special Assessment Revenue Bonds. Generally, the CDD assesses each property owner with a yearly capital debt service assessment to pay back those bonds.
The Vistera of Venice Homeowners’ Association (“HOA”) plays a critical role in the Community. The Association monitors, maintains, and enforces all of the deed restrictions, covenants, and architectural guidelines set by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC).
