Just 35 miles north of Sacramento, the County provides strategic access to major markets while maintaining a lower cost of living and a welcoming, community-centered lifestyle. Our Economic Development team is embedded in Community Development, giving businesses and developers direct access to permitting and approvals. We deliver fast, clear guidance, comprehensive fee estimates, and hands-on support — so projects move at the speed of business.
