What´s a LAFCo?

A Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) is a countywide Commission, required in each California county.

Our Goals:

Ensure the orderly formation of local governmental agencies
Preserve agricultural and open space lands
Discourage sprawl

We govern:

Boundary changes (annexations) of cities and special districts
Formation of new agencies
Incorporation of new cities and districts
Consolidation or reorganization of special districts and or cities
Municipal Service Reviews
Spheres of Influence Updates

Sacramento LAFCo joins with every LAFCo across the state in accepting greater responsibility for local government service delivery.

What's New!

The City of Elk Grove has submitted a Sphere of Influence Amendment request. Project analysis and proceedings will include preparation of an Initial Study by LAFCo as the Lead Agency, per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Staff encourages public participation in this review process. If you would like to be added to the project mailing list, kindly contact Don Lockhart.

Incorporation v. Annexation: A comparison

The new "LAFCo law" (Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000) is now available.
