About the District

The Center Lake Ranch West Community Development District is a local, special-purpose government entity authorized by Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes, as amended, and established on August 11, 2022 by the City Council of the City of St. Cloud, Osceola County, Florida Ordinance No. 2022-18, as an alternative method of planning, acquiring, operating and maintaining community-wide improvements in planned communities.

The land within the District, located entirely within the city consists of 385.77 acres, located south of Starline Drive, west of undeveloped lands, north of Harkley Runyan Road and east of South Narcoossee Road in Osceola County, Florida.

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.
