The Cope’s Landing Community Development District is a local, special-purpose government entity authorized by Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes as amended, and established on January 11, 2023 by the City Council of the City of Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida, Ordinance No. 2022-861-E to plan, establish, acquire, construct or reconstruct, enlarge or extend, equip, operate, and maintain systems and facilities described and authorized by Section 190.012, Florida Statutes.

The Cope’s Landing CDD is located entirely within the boundaries of the City of Jacksonville, Florida, and covers approximately 293.48 acres of land. The site is generally located north of Pritchard Road, south of Garden Street, and west of Cisco Drive West. The District is the best alternative method of planning, acquiring, operating and maintaining community-wide improvements in planned communities.

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.
