The Department was formed in March 2004 to provide residents and business owners of unincorporated Sacramento County with superior services and enhanced lines of communication with County staff. We are committed to improving how residents and businesses are included in the maintenance and development of their communities. 

The Department, also known as DNS, is organized into four geographic areas: East, South, North and Rural. Each area has its own website, listed under the communities drop-down menu.

The Department also supports the Community Planning Commissions and some Advisory Councils, which are linked along the top of this page.

If you don't see what you're looking for, please send us your comments, questions or suggestions to Communitycomments@saccounty.net. We're looking forward to working together.
