District Board

The governing body of the District is its Board of Supervisors, which is comprised of five Supervisors.  These individuals act in much the same way as a City or County Commissioner, in that they are public servants for the citizens in the community they serve.  Supervisors for the Harmony CDD are governed by the same laws as any other governmental official in the state of Florida, including the Sunshine Law and the Public Records Law.

The Board of Supervisors for the District consists of five members, who are elected in the general elections every two years by qualified electors of the District.  The next election will be on November 8, 2016 for Seats 1, 3, & 5.  All Seats are elected to four-year terms.  The slate of Harmony CDD Candidates is posted on the Community Bulletin Board.
