An MSBU/MSTU is a geographic area within the County, created by ordinance and defined by specific boundaries, through which particular services are provided. Some examples of services that MSBUs may provide are: road & drainage maintenance, waterway dredging, stormwater utility, fire protection or sanitation service.
Some of Charlotte County's Municipal Service Benefit Units and Municipal Service Taxing Units (MSBUs/MSTUs) are coordinated through Public Works' representatives. Others are coordinated by Utilities or Fire & EMS.
