Acreage
History and Government
The Indian Trail Improvement District was
created by the Florida Legislature in 1957 to oversee the needs of the
17,000 developed lots encompassing a 110-plus-square-mile area, along with
citrus grove and sugar cane production. The ITID
serves more than 39,000 residents. As a “special taxing district,” it
provides drainage, road grading and improvements, plus a neighborhood park
system.
The ITID is run by an elected,
seven-member board which meets at 7 p.m. on the fourth Monday of each
month in the district offices located at 13476 61st Street North.
Day-to-day operations are under the supervision of a district
administrator, appointed by the Board of Supervisors. Departments include
Parks, Maintenance & Operations, and Administration.
