News
 Volunteer Needed! Trustees of the Twelve Oaks Special District (TOSD) are committed to helping homeowners know and understand how their tax dollars are allocated. We make information transparent and easy to understand. Homeowner’s property taxes include a specific tax category that goes entirely to Twelve Oaks. The Twelve Oaks Special District, TOSD, administers those funds and has provided the money for major capital improvements. For example, the wall surrounding our subdivision and the entrance signs were funded and are maintained through taxpayers’ taxes administered by the Board of Trustees. TOSD monies are used to maintain all common areas including the entrances and the islands throughout the community, for maintaining the quality of water in the two ponds, for street sweeping, and for making improvements to the community.
