WHEN Must Form 700 Be Filed?

The deadline for submitting the 2023/2024 Annual Form 700 is April 2, 2024.  Please note that April 1 is a County holiday in observance of Cesar Chavez day. 

Specified Officials must file their Form 700 with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. Forms for all other staff must be date-stamped and maintained by the department or agency. 

  • Assuming Office: within 30 days of the assumed office date

For access to eDisclosure or for further information, please contact Clerk of the Board staff at             (619) 531-5601.

WHY File Form 700?

The Political Reform Act (Government Code Sections 81000-91015) requires most state and local government officials and employees to publicly disclose their personal assets and income.  They must also disqualify themselves from participating in decisions that may affect their personal financial interests.  The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) is the State agency responsible for issuing the Statement of Economic Interest (Form 700), and for interpreting the law's provisions.

WHO Files?

This is determined by State law and local regulations: Government Code Section 87200 and an agency's Conflict of Interest Code.

The following County Elected and Appointed Officers, identified in California Government Code Section 87200, file Statements of Economic Interests (Form 700’s) directly with the office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors:

  • Board of Supervisors: Nora Vargas; Joel Anderson; Terra Lawson-Remer; Monica Montgomery Steppe; Jim Desmond 
  • Chief Administrative Officer: Ebony Shelton
  • County Counsel: Claudia Silva
  • District Attorney: Summer Stephan
  • Planning Commissioners: Ronald Ashman; Douglas Barnhart; Yolanda Calvo; Michael Edwards; Ginger Hitzke; David Pallinger; Molly Weber
  • Treasurer/Tax Collector: Dan McAllister

Each department or agency has a  Conflict of Interest Code that designates which employees must file a Form 700 ("Code Filers"), and includes information regarding disclosure categories. Disclosure categories set out the type of financial interests that must be reported by each official. 

For assistance completing a Form 700 and/or determining your disclosure requirements, please contact your agency's legal counsel or the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) Advice Hotline at (866) 275-3772.
