Tenant Protection Ordinance webinar for landlords

Sonoma County hosted a webinar on Tuesday, Nov. 19, to update landlords about their responsibilities under a new tenant protection ordinance recently adopted by the Board of Supervisors.  

The webinar was an opportunity for landlords in unincorporated areas of Sonoma County to learn about their responsibilities under the ordinance, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2025. 

The online informational session, which included Spanish interpretation, featured representatives from the Sonoma County Counsel’s Office and the County’s Information Systems Department, who explained how landlords can use a new web portal to report rental information.

Regional Parks survey seeks feedback on accessibility

Sonoma County Regional Parks is on a mission to make our recreational spaces more welcoming, accessible and inclusive for everyone — and public feedback is critical. 

Please take a few minutes to share some thoughts and help create an Equity and Accessibility Framework to ensure our parks foster a sense of belonging and provide opportunities for all to enjoy, connect and participate fully. 

Be part of this important initiative by taking the anonymous survey here: SoCoParks.org/EAF.
