The California County Planning Commissioners Association provides educational resources and events for planning commissioners, staff, elected officials and the general public. To effectively perform their duties, planning commissioners engage in a continual learning process. Assisting in that learning process, CCPCA focuses on California's current and future challenges in planning, land use and resource management.

Every county in California is welcome to join the CCPCA. Every planning commissioner in the county becomes a CCPCA member when their county joins. We are not an advocacy group, but rather, as our mission defines, we promote "Knowledge Through Education" and thereby help serve the interests of the people of California. Membership dues for counties are the same for 2009 as they were last year.


Please explore the website, and "Ask Us!" specific questions you have about planning, land use, and the CCPCA. We also encourage you to let us know of resources that you have found to be valuable. Thank you so much for visiting!
