How are LAFCOs funded?
LAFCO is required by law to annually adopt a budget for a July 1 to June 30 fiscal year. LAFCO charges application fees for processing proposals and can accept grants and other forms of revenue. Any costs necessary to fund LAFCOs that are not derived from application fees or other revenue sources are apportioned by the County Auditor based on the budget adopted by LAFCO and charged one third to the County, one third to the cities based on total revenues, and one third to the independent special districts based on revenues for general purpose transactions.
