Special District Association of Colorado

The Special District Association of Colorado (SDA) is a statewide membership organization created in 1975 to serve the interests of the special district form of local government in Colorado. Special districts fill a vital role in providing many of the basic services and public needs of the people of Colorado, including fire and rescue services, water, sanitation, parks and recreation, hospitals, libraries and cemeteries. SDA has over 2,700 special district members and over 280 associate members. SDA associate members include attorneys, accountants, investment advisors, engineers, management companies and other consultants. These knowledgeable professionals provide information for the operation and development of special districts in Colorado. 

The Special District Association was organized to provide better communication, research, legislative input, administrative support, and educational opportunities for member districts. SDA exists to help special districts serve the public in the most efficient and economical manner possible. The Special District Association advocates on behalf of special districts before the Colorado General Assembly.
