Imperial Local Agency Formation Commission

The Imperial Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) is a local government agency that is independent of the County and the Cities. Part of our duties include overseeing boundary changes (i.e., annexations, detachments, incorporations, extension of services, etc.) between the County, the Cities, and the Special Districts. There is one LAFCO for every County in California. The Imperial LAFCO consists of 5 members: 2 County Supervisors to represent the County of Imperial, 2 City Council members to represent the 7 Cities in the Imperial County, and 1 public member to represent the public in the Imperial County.
