Please click here to view our color brochure SONOMA COUNTY Sonoma County is one of the most beautiful counties in the state of California. With its scenic splendor and laid-back lifestyle, it is no wonder that Sonoma County consistently ranks high as one of the top places to live and work. Located less than an hour's drive north of San Francisco, Sonoma County enjoys the world-class culture of the San Francisco Bay Area, while still maintaining its agricultural heritage and rustic charm. Sonoma County is known for its over 200 award-winning wineries, inspiring coastline and beaches, the Russian River, and majestic redwoods. The County encompasses over one million acres of land and water, rich with agriculture, parks, campsites, lakes, and open space enjoyed by families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. As the northern point of California's Bay Area, Sonoma County is also known for its wide variety of art and music festivals, farmers' markets, and concert venues. The county seat and largest city is Santa Rosa, the hub of economic activity in northern California's wine country. The metro area was an early center of the farm-to-table movement, and local produce, livestock, beer, and wine draw tourists from around the world. Farms, orchards, hopyards, and vineyards surrounding Santa Rosa proper are a vital source of employment and nourishment for residents. Local schools continually rank high on California's Academic Performance Index, and the Santa Rosa Junior College and Sonoma State University offer higher education opportunities. The County is an increasingly diverse region and home to approximately 500,000 residents. The Latinx population has grown by almost 230% within the last 25 years and is approximately 27% of the population. Sonoma is a general law county, governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors. The Board is fully committed to a mission and vision that values high quality services to support and enrich the community by providing strong leadership, citizen participation, and ensuring transparency and accuracy in information and an efficient and fiscally sustainable government. The County Administrator leads a team of dedicated department heads who work collaboratively to address and strategically prepare for County challenges and initiatives. The County has 28 departments, agencies, offices, and special districts, employing over 4,000 regular personnel with an annual budget of approximately $2.6 billion for fiscal year (FY) 22-23.
