About the Department
The department consists of three separate
divisions, Agriculture, Weights and Measures, and Animal Care and Control. The
Agricultural division is mandated to promote and protect the agricultural
industry, and the environment of the county, through enforcement of local,
State and Federal laws and regulations; it is also responsible for the
protection of agricultural worker health and safety. The division of
Weights and Measures is charged with assuring equity in the marketplace
by inspecting commercial weighing and measuring devices, and verifying
accuracy of prepackaged commodities and time-of-sale transactions. The
Animal Care and Control division is responsible for the licensing, controlling,
sheltering and impounding of domestic animals and livestock. The department
is also responsible for two advisory boards/commissions: The Sonoma County
Fish and Wildlife Commission and The Animal Welfare Board. For more information
