Welcome!


Following the approval of Measure D by voters in March 2024, Shasta County became a California charter county. Charter counties are broadly described in the California Constitution, under Article XI.

General laws determined by the California Legislature that are applicable statewide cannot be superseded by a local charter or ordinance. California charter counties have some local autonomy to address unique, local issues, as long as their charters do not conflict with state law or regulations.

Specific additions and charter terms of local interest and local impact may be considered by the Board of Supervisors and sent to the electorate during the next available election cycle, as a referendum or Measure, as further described by the California Constitution, Elections Code, and Government Code.

Please note that all suggestions will be reviewed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Some suggestions may not be considered due to legal or practical constraints.

Each charter county has similar provisions; however, there are variations and differences, many of which were accomplished via subsequent amendment, as contemplated in this survey. Those amendments are generally tracked and available as appendices or references to each respective county charter.
