Special Districts, a Division of the Public Works Department, administrates a wide range of special district financing for public infrastructure development and acquisition, as well as special benefit programs that offer street lighting, parkway landscape and median landscape maintenance services to the residential communities and commercial/industrial areas throughout the City of Moreno Valley.

In accordance with state and federal legislative guidelines, Special Districts forms and administers financing of infrastructure and service-based programs through one of three types of Districts:
