The Ocala Preserve Community Development District is a local, special-purpose government entity authorized by Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes as amended, and established on June 16, 2021 by the Board of County Commissioners of Marion County, Florida, Ordinance No. 21-15 as an alternative method of planning, acquiring, operating and maintaining community-wide improvements in planned communities.
The Ocala Preserve CDD is located entirely within the City of Ocala, Florida, and consists of approximately 263.62 acres of land. The site is located west of NW 44th Avenue and north of NW Blitchton Road and the Quail Meadows neighborhood.
A Community Development District (CDD) provides the 'solution' to Florida's need to provide valuable community infrastructure generated by growth, ultimately without overburdening other governments and their taxpaying residents. CDDs represent a major advancement in Florida's effort to manage its growth effectively and efficiently. This allows a community to establish higher construction standards, meanwhile providing a long-term solution to the operation and maintenance of the community's facilities.
