If you live in a rural area, a special district may be the government agency with which you interact the most.
The North Coast has the most special districts of any region in California. This means that, chances are, many of your government services are provided by a special district, from fire, to water, recreation and even the harbor. This site was built to help you learn more about how our county is managed, how your essential services are administered, and what agencies your tax dollars are going towards.
We believe for people to fully engage in their democracy, easy access to information about their government is key — so that we can all have our voices heard.
