Road Commissioner Declarations are official approvals that give Sonoma County the authority to quickly address urgent road needs—such as emergencies, safety hazards, or repairs that cannot wait for the standard bidding process. These actions are taken under Public Contract Code Section 22031(e) to protect public safety and keep roads open and functional. For example, a declaration may authorize immediate work to repair storm-damaged roads, clear landslides, or make emergency bridge repairs after severe weather.
To ensure transparency, Sonoma County publishes recent declarations here, organized by year. If you are interested in earlier records, please contact the Department of Public Infrastructure. Questions or comments about current declarations can be directed to the County Road Commissioner.
