The Caldera Community Development District (CDD) is a local, special purpose government entity authorized by Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes as amended, established April 12, 2023 and created by Ordinance No. 2023-04 of the Board of County Commissioners, Hernando County, Florida as an alternative method of planning, acquiring, operating and maintaining community-wide improvements in planned communities.

The Caldera CDD is located entirely within the boundaries of the City of Lake Alfred, Polk County, Florida, comprising a parcel or parcels of land containing approximately 144.19 acres, located south of County Road 557A, west of County Road 557, and east of Old Lake Alfred Road.

The exclusive charter for the District shall be the uniform community development district charter (Uniform Charter) as set forth in Florida Statutes 190. The Uniform Charter grants certain general and special powers.

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.
