In order to become a special purpose district, a entity must have some form of organization and corporate powers. Also, the entity must have governmental character, such as officers who are appointed or elected, a responsibility to the public, and the power to levy taxes. Another qualification entities must have is to be able to show fiscal and administrative independence. When it comes to reasoning for creations of special purpose districts there is not just one. When communities become urbanized, the people of the community need certain services that cities typically provide for. The most popular reason for creating special purpose districts is because restrictive procedures are put in place that make it hard for municipal governments to annex their territory. When these communities urbanize, the citizens need these services that the city will not provide for due to restrictive procedures. Another reason for special purpose districts is overcoming service limitations by existing governments. Support from the federal government can be a reason for special purpose districts to be created as well. The federal government would give grants-in-aids as well as other incentives for district creation. Geographic flexibility was another reason for district creation. This reason for district creation was justified so that services could be provided across city and county lines. Avoidance of legal limitations on public debt is the fifth reason for district creation. Last but not least, political expedience and special interests can be reasoning for creating special purpose districts. If there are local problems, it could be easier for a special purpose district to take care of it than other types of government.

How purpose districts are formed is that they must have a form of organization along with corporate powers.They have to have government powers, and show administrative independence. The reason why they are created are because when communities urbanized there are certain services that have to be provided for them. Another reason they are created are because when the're certain areas that have limitations which makes it harder for municipal governments to claim there areas of limitations.

The first part of the answer, which we really already covered in the first question, is that SPD's are created by acts of the legislature. Then the 5 reasons they are formed are covered well in Julie Kate's detailed answer, though Cequita has in in general terms.
