A CDD (Community Development District) is a local government entity that finances, builds, and maintains major community infrastructure, with fees collected through your property tax bill. An HOA (Homeowners Association) is a private organization that enforces community rules and maintains neighborhood standards, funded by dues paid directly by homeowners. While the CDD handles large-scale infrastructure and long-term maintenance, the HOA manages day-to-day operations, community rules, and neighborhood aesthetics—many communities have both, each serving different roles.
