Imagine a special kind of place where everything is different from the rest of the places around it. It's like a special club just for this place. This is called a special-purpose district (SPD).
These places are made for a specific purpose, like creating a park, setting up a library, or building a hospital. They are separate from the regular government or city, but they still follow the rules of the state or country they are in.
Think of it like when you go to a toy store. In the regular store, you have all kinds of toys, but in a special toy store, you only have toys for kids under 5. This special toy store only has toys that are perfect for little kids like toys that are easy to hold, play with, and learn from. Just like that, the purpose of special-purpose districts is to focus on a specific need or group of people.
People who live in these places will pay their taxes for the regular government, but they will also have to pay extra taxes to support the SPD's special projects. This helps make sure that the SPD can keep doing its important work.
So, in short, special-purpose districts are like special clubs for places that want to focus on very specific things, and people who live there have to pay extra money to help with that focus.
