The Ventura County Special Districts Association (VCSDA) represents more than thirty independently-governed special districts in Ventura County.  Special districts are single-purposed entities formed by local residents to provide local services; they are an efficient form of local government, and nimble to respond to customer needs.  Established in 1974, VCSDA serves by providing information on how independent special districts efficiently and effectively deliver public sector services. Independent Special Districts have been providing quality services to 95% of Ventura County's residents since 1918.
