When there is a need for a public agency or other eligible entity to acquire land enrolled in a Williamson Act contract, or located in an agricultural preserve, the Department of Conservation must be notified. Specific information must accompany the notification in order to ensure the requirements of Government Code §§51290 - 51295 and 51296.6 are met.
While agencies are not required to follow a specific template to submit Williamson Act Public Acquisitions notices, these example documents may be useful if you are compiling a notice. Following this outline may streamline your work process, by ensuring that all required material is contained in your initial notice. The items are in PDF format.
In the Departments continuing effort to migrate to a paperless environment, all notifications and related document can be sent to:
