Contra Costa

The Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) is an essential regulatory body established by the California Legislature in 1963 to oversee local government boundary changes, including incorporation, annexations, and the formation of special districts. Operating under the current Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act of 2000, LAFCO plays a pivotal role in ensuring orderly development and resolving boundary disputes among communities and governments in Contra Costa County.

In addition to overseeing boundary changes, Contra Costa LAFCO conducts Municipal Service Reviews and Sphere of Influence updates for County Service Areas, as well as special studies, such as the financial review of local cemetery districts. The commission actively engages with local agencies and provides essential public resources, including meeting notices and public records, to foster transparency and informed governance.
