What Are the Next Steps?

March 24, 2025

The Sonoma County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) approved the reorganization on March 5, 2025.

Voters now have the opportunity to protest the reorganization with LAFCO, prior to a protest hearing set for May 7, 2025. If less than 25% of voters or property owners file protests by that time, the reorganization will be approved and take effect no later than July 1, 2025.

If more than 25% file protests, a special election will occur in November 2025 to determine the reorganization’s fate.
