Counties
Urlhttps://gis.fdot.gov/arcgis/rest/services/Admin_Boundaries/FeatureServer/5
ProviderFlorida Dept. of Transportation (FDOT) "Admin_Boundaries" FeatureServer, layer "Detailed FL County Bndy" — built from Florida Geographic Data Library (FGDL) source data, the de facto statewide GIS clearinghouse (FLDOE itself has no GIS service of its own)
TypeArcGIS REST FeatureServer
Noteverified 67 counties via returnCountOnly. No website or parent field (counties are the top-level entity).

Municipalities
Urlhttps://gis.fdot.gov/arcgis/rest/services/Admin_Boundaries/FeatureServer/7
Providersame FDOT FeatureServer, layer "Florida Cities Bndy" (Census-Places-derived schema)
TypeArcGIS REST FeatureServer
Noteverified 410 municipalities with CLASSFP='C1' (close to FL's ~412 figure). No website field, and no explicit parent-county field — some FL municipalities straddle county lines, unlike NY's one-parent-county model.

CLASSFPfilter key — "C1" = legally incorporated place; the unfiltered layer also includes CDPs/unincorporated communities, so this filter is required

School Districts
Urlhttps://nces.ed.gov/opengis/rest/services/School_District_Boundaries/EDGE_SCHOOLDISTRICT_TL21_SY2021/MapServer/0
ProviderNCES (federal) EDGE School District Boundaries, built from Census TIGER + state-submitted district data — NOT FLDOE; FLDOE publishes only static PDFs (e.g. district-number-to-county lists), no live GIS/REST service of its own, so the federal layer is used instead
TypeArcGIS REST MapServer, filtered to STATEFP='12'
Noteverified exactly 67 districts (one per county, as expected for FL's constitutionally-capped model). This TL21_SY2021 vintage was the one confirmed live; newer vintages likely exist under the same nces.ed.gov/opengis/rest/services/School_District_Boundaries/ path pattern but weren't individually re-verified.
