The Orange Branch CDD is located entirely within the St. Johns County, Florida and covers approximately 963.43 acres of land. The site is generally located south of Greenbriar Road, north and east of State Road 13, and north and west of the Rivers Edge CDD.

A Community Development District (CDD) provides the 'solution' to Florida's need to provide valuable community infrastructure generated by growth, ultimately without overburdening other governments and their taxpaying residents. CDDs represent a major advancement in Florida's effort to manage its growth effectively and efficiently. This allows a community to establish higher construction standards, meanwhile providing a long-term solution to the operation and maintenance of the community's facilities.
