WVID Homesteaded Property Population Estimate

How close are we?

500 resident property owners is the magic number required to allow a petition to be sent to the Supervisor of Elections requesting that a popular election be held for at least one district Supervisor.  The number of Supervisors that may be popularly elected is determined by the percent of "urban development" within the district.  0 to 25% allows for one Supervisor to be elected.  The more urban development there is, the more Supervisors that can be elected. Read the Special Taxing District Handbook for more information about Florida Statute 189 and popularly elected Supervisors.  This population estimate is based upon two owners of each homesteaded property within the district as reported monthly by the Sarasota County Property Appraisers office.
