Each CDD is controlled by a 5 member board of supervisors. As each CDD is built out, a process of transition will begin so that the district will eventually be controlled by the residents.

The procedure is spelled out at the Village Community Development Districts website.

"Your community development district"
VCDD Your Community District

Since there are no residents in the Village Center CDD and Sumter Landing CDD, the board of supervisors will be elected by the landowners of property within the boundaries of the District.
