The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Act) establishes procedures for local government changes of organization, including city incorporations, annexations to a city or special district, and city and special district consolidations.
Local agency formation commissions (LAFCOs) have numerous powers under the Act, but those of primary concern are the power to act on local agency boundary changes and to adopt spheres of influence for local agencies. Among the purposes of LAFCOs are the discouragement of urban sprawl and the encouragement of the orderly formation and development of local agencies.
Staff to the Assembly Local Government Committee regularly updates the Guide to the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000. The version linked below reflects the 2005 legislative changes to the Act. I hope that you find it to be a useful and helpful document.
