Florida special districts

A district website that meets the rules.

Florida special districts must keep an official website with the items listed in Section 189.069, including agendas posted at least 7 days before each meeting. The federal ADA rule also requires accessible websites for special districts by April 26, 2028. We build, host and update yours.

What your website has to include

Section 189.069(2)(a) of the Florida Statutes lists the required items. In short:

  • The district’s full legal name and public purpose
  • Governing body members, with contact details, terms and who appointed them
  • The fiscal year, the charter, the date the district was created and the governing statutes
  • Mailing address, email, phone number and website address
  • A description of the district’s boundaries and services
  • All taxes, fees, assessments and charges, with rates and statutory authority
  • Primary contact information for each department
  • The adopted code of ethics
  • The budget and any amendments, and the most recent audit report
  • The regular meeting schedule and a link to the Department of Financial Services reporting site
  • Agendas posted at least 7 days before each meeting or workshop, kept online for at least 1 year

This is a plain-English summary, not legal advice. Read Section 189.069 on the Florida Legislature website and the ADA.gov guidance on the web accessibility rule, and check anything specific with your district counsel.

Built for districts that

Share a site with a management company

Many districts sit on a manager’s shared template. We give the district its own site that it controls.

Post PDFs that fail accessibility

Scanned agendas and budgets are the most common problem. We fix them or post accessible versions.

Miss the 7-day agenda window

Send the agenda when it’s ready and we post it the same or next business day.

Need to be ready for April 2028

Start now and spread the accessibility work out instead of rushing before the deadline.

How it works

1

Free check

We compare your current site with the Section 189.069 list and run an accessibility scan.

2

Plan

A short written plan: what’s missing, what needs fixing and the monthly price.

3

Build and load

Your new site goes live with every required item in place.

4

Keep it current

Send agendas and records as they come. We post them and confirm.

Pricing

One flat price covers hosting, posting your documents, accessibility work and the dated posting log. No long contract.

Monthly

$249/month plus a one-time $1,500 setup: we build the site, set up every Section 189.069 item and make up to 100 pages of your current documents accessible.

Yearly

$2,490/year plus the same setup. Two months free, and it can be billed to match your October 1 fiscal year.

Both plans include accessible versions of up to 40 document pages a month. Extra pages are $8 each. Older archives are quoted in your free check. Monthly plans can be cancelled with 30 days’ notice.

Questions boards ask

When is the accessibility deadline for our district?

The US Department of Justice rule gives special district governments until April 26, 2028 to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. The Florida posting requirements in Section 189.069 already apply today.

Do PDFs count?

Generally yes. Documents posted on the website are covered by the accessibility rule, with limited exceptions for archived and older documents. We check what you post.

Can you work with our district manager?

Yes. Most districts send documents through their manager or clerk. We post what they send and confirm when it’s live.

Is this legal advice?

No. We build and run the website. For questions about what your district must post, ask your district counsel.
