The Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) of Napa County is a government agency established by the California State Legislature in 1963. Its primary responsibility is to manage local governmental boundaries, evaluate municipal services, and protect prime agricultural lands in Napa County. LAFCO plays a crucial role in preventing urban sprawl and ensuring the orderly formation and development of governmental agencies that provide municipal services within its jurisdiction.
LAFCO approval is required for annexations, detachments, and the formation of new cities and special districts in Napa County. Through special studies, programs, and actions, LAFCO aims to raise awareness, build partnerships, and promote growth management not only in Napa County but also in the entire San Francisco Bay Area region. The agency provides comprehensive resources, including application materials, staff reports, studies, and helpful links, to facilitate understanding and collaboration with LAFCO.
