LAFCO proceedings for jurisdictional changes are generally initiated by outside applicants through petitions (landowners or voters), and to a lesser degree by resolutions (local agencies). LAFCOs may also initiate jurisdictional changes to form, consolidate, or dissolve special districts if consistent with the recommendations of approved municipal service reviews. Most jurisdictional change filings take three to five months before they are scheduled for hearing. Applications for outside-of-agency service approvals – which are subject to separate procedures – generally take two months to process.
