A special district are defined as "any agency of the state for the local performance of governmental or proprietary functions within limited boundaries" and provides a limited range of services within a defined geographic area. Most of California's special districts are "single-purpose districts", and provide one service. Most special districts don't have police powers. "Independent special districts" have elected boards. "Dependent special districts" are governed by the city or county that created them. "Regional bodies" have boards appointed by the city and county governments they encompass. Some districts, often referred to as "assessment districts", have voting based on the assessed values of the property contained within the district, rather than popular vote; this was ruled constitutional for districts that provide benefits to the land in rough proportion to the value of the land, rather than to people within the district. Districts are categorized as "enterprise districts" and "non-enterprise districts". Enterprise districts operate as a business, and obtain most of their revenue from user fees or sales of a product or service. Enterprise districts include those that provide water, waste disposal, electric power, hospitals, public transit, and similar services. The most common type of special district is the utility district, which provides public utility services to residents within the district boundaries. Among the largest of these are the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, which provides electric power in the Sacramento area, the Metropolitan Water District, which provides water to local water agencies in the Los Angeles area, and the Imperial Irrigation District, which provides water for agriculture and electric power in Imperial County. Another very common type of special district is the transit agency, which provides public transportation. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority provides bus and train services and funds some transportation projects, including bicycle paths, HOV lanes, and other road improvements. By contrast, the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District only operates a commuter rail service and buses to locations beyond the range of the rail service. There are at least 3000 special districts, and possibly as many as 5000, depending on how they are counted. Special districts spend over $26 billion each year (over $700 per person in California), though some significant amount of that is double-counted as some districts purchase services from others, and some subsidize others. A short list of the types of special districts includes:  Air pollution control districts  Air quality management districts  Airport districts  Bridge or highway districts  California water districts  Community facilities districts (Mello-Roos districts)  Community services districts  County sanitation districts  County service areas  County water districts  County waterworks districts  Fire protection districts  Harbor and port districts  Healthcare/Health Care/Health districts  Improvement districts  Irrigation districts  Joint power agencies  Joint highway districts  Library districts  Metropolitan water districts  Mosquito abatement districts  Municipal utility districts  Municipal water districts  Permanent road divisions  Pest control districts  Police protection districts  Public cemetery districts  Public utility districts  Reclamation districts  Recreation and park districts  Redevelopment agencies  Resource conservation districts  Sanitary districts  Separation of grade districts  Service zones of special districts  Sewer districts  Sewer maintenance districts  Special assessment districts  Transit or rapid transit districts  Unified or union high school library districts  Vector control districts  
There are a number of districts in the Swedish football organization, and each of them receives a number of spots in the Swedish Cup, due to how many licensed players they have. For an example, Värmlands FF receives three spots and Västergötlands FF receives seven spots. 
The majority of the districts are rural districts () of which there are 295. Cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants (and smaller towns in some states) do not usually belong to a district, but take over district responsibilities themselves, similar to the concept of independent cities. These are known as urban districts ()—cities which constitute a district in their own right—and there are currently (2011) 107 of them, bringing the total number of districts to 402. In North Rhine-Westphalia, there are some cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants which are not urban districts, for example Recklinghausen, Siegen, Paderborn, Bergisch Gladbach, Neuss and Moers. These cities, however, take over many district responsibilities themselves although belonging to a district. Moers is the biggest city in Germany (and at present time the only one with more than 100,000 inhabitants) that is neither an urban district, nor takes over district responsibilities. There are also three so-called ("Municipal unions of special kind", a fusion of a district and a district-free town: Besides the Regionalverband Saarbrücken ("Saarbrücken regional association)", 1974–2007: Stadtverband Saarbrücken, "Saarbrücken town association"), there is the Region Hannover since 2001 and the Städteregion Aachen ("Aachen region of towns") since 2009. 
Each division is further divided into districts. There are 31 districts in Sarawak.
