Let Sunshine Make Your Special District Administration Easy

We provide expert and affordable support services to Hillsborough County Special Dependent Tax Districts…

LEGAL UPDATE!
JULY 1, 2024

Click here for additional information on a new law signed by Governor DeSantis regarding Florida special districts.

Did you know that the larger Districts in Hillsborough County—such as Bloomingdale, Northdale, and Logan Gate Village—all have professional management through Merit Management (our parent company) to administer their Districts and manage all of their County and state requirements?

Sunshine is a company with an innovative business model based on Merit Management’s proven systems, which allows us to provide expert and affordable support services to your smaller District. We offer the professional and administrative support most Districts need throughout the fiscal year in dealing with our friends at the County and in Tallahassee.

The purpose of this program is to provide affordable services to smaller Districts and help them abide by government requirements and deadlines. We stop short of being a full-service manager like those used by larger Districts, in that we do not attend meetings or perform any onsite work. Instead, we focus on providing the critical backroom and administrative help a strong Board needs to fulfill all its obligations to Hillsborough County and the State of Florida.

We make it easy for your volunteer Board Members to support their communities!

Working Together, We'll Provide Your Community with Top-Notch Services, Including (But Not Limited To)...

Financial Management Services

  • Our CPA will prepare your monthly financials as well as provide the year-end data needed by your auditor.
  • We will also create a draft budget to start your budgeting process each year and handle the annual assessment roll filing with the Tax Collector.

Administrative Assistance
& Homeowner Support

  • The Sunshine administrative team will manage all the County reporting requirements and keep you in good standing with “you-know-who” at Hillsborough County!
  • Our team will be available to answer resident calls and emails, to ensure your volunteer Board Members are not bothered at home while spending time with their families.

Cutting-Edge
Technology Solutions

  • We use an online Accounts Payable program that allows your Board to approve vendor invoices online and have checks mailed the following day. Your contractors will love the new program and you will no longer need to chase down signatures for checks.
  • We will provide, maintain, and update a District website as required by Florida statutes. Our websites meet all accessibility standards, allowing you to forget about this monthly chore.

Good volunteers can be difficult to find, and when they have to deal with difficult County issues (as well as manage the administrative work that is so often heaped on Board Members), turnover on the Board can be high. We make it easy for Board Members to serve, and therefore, easier for you to find volunteers for Board positions—all at a reasonable price.
