The Imperial County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) is an independent local government agency that regulates boundary changes, such as annexations, conducts municipal service reviews of Cities & Special Districts, and approves or denies Cities & Special Districts to provide municipal services, such as water and sewer, outside of their jurisdictional boundaries.

The Imperial LAFCo was formed by the California State Legislature in 1963 to encourage the orderly formation of Local Governmental Agencies, to preserve agricultural land resources, and to discourage urban sprawl.
