Los Trancos County Maintenance District

Profile

Date of Formation: October 1, 2015 as the County-governed successor district to the dissolved Los Trancos County Water District. The District was formed to fund and carry out enhanced fire safety, enhanced storm drain and road improvements, and land stewardship. Dissolution of the water district and formation of the county maintenance district is the product of several years of discussions between the Water District Board, the community, LAFCo, and representatives of the County of San Mateo, Woodside Fire Protection District, and Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District following the Water District’s sale of their water system to Cal Water in 2005. Dissolution of the Water District and formation of the County Maintenance District is a solution that transfers the Los Trancos County Water District property tax share to the Los Trancos County Maintenance District to provide for enhanced fire safety, stormwater runoff and road improvements, land stewardship, and community participation through a community advisory committee.

Enabling Legislation: Section 5820 et seq. of the CA Streets and Highway Code

Services Provided: Enhanced fire safety, enhanced storm drain and road improvements, and land stewardship in unincorporated Los Trancos Woods, Vista Verde, and Oak Forest Court.

Area: 335 acres

Population: 1,050 (estimate for 2015)
