The Windemere Special Dependent District (SDD) is a special district created by the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in 1986 to maintain the common areas in the Windemere Subdivision. Up to $75.00 is collected as a line item on the property taxes by the Hillsborough County Tax Collector and distributed to the district every year.

The Windemere SDD mows the common areas around both ponds and at the entrance, maintains the wall and sign at the entrance, and pays for the water and power for the entrance area. Street lights are assessed separately on the tax bill. The Windemere SDD is not a homeowners association and does not handle issues regarding Code Enforcement or Deed Restrictions.

The Board of the Trustees for district is composed of 7 residents of Windemere who are elected to the positions.
