Welcome to Missouri Special Districts Association

---

The Missouri Special Districts Association is an organization of the state’s local special purpose governments that altogether provide emergency response, critical infrastructure, and essential community services across the state. 

Special district stakeholders created the "Missouri Special Districts Alliance" in July 2025 to directly address the likely impacts of property tax reform policies, educate lawmakers and community members on the importance of special districts, and to support the development of a statewide, all-districts association. This was the precursor to the Missouri Special Districts Association.

A group of Alliance leaders from across the state, dubbed the “Missouri Special Districts Council,” has been meeting over the course of months to steer development of an association that fosters networking, governance education, and advocacy resources for districts of all types. 

With the groundbreaking efforts of the Alliance and leadership of the Council, the Missouri Special Districts Association (MoSDA) was incoporated on December 31, 2025, and organized on January 8, 2026.

Our Mission: connecting, educating, and advocating for Missouri’s special districts to ensure strong, trusted, local governance and resilient public services.
