About Harmony CDD

The Harmony CDD, established pursuant to Ordinance #00-05, as originally adopted by the Osceola County Board of Commissioners, made effective a/o March 6, 2000, and supplemented & amended by Ordinances #00-16, #01-35, & #05-02, consists of 1,020.2 acres of land near the center of the greater DRI project area.  To distinguish it from "Harmony West," "Harmony Central," and other communities within the overall development area, this District is commonly referred to as "Harmony Main."

The Harmony 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 Harmony operates within the ethics provisions as outlined by the Florida Commission on Ethics.
