Statement of Economic Interest (Form 700)

The Clerk of the Board is the filing official for many agencies throughout the County. The Statement of Economic Interest (Form 700) is a document that public officials, candidates for public office, and certain government employees in California are required to file. This form is used to report financial interests and helps prevent potential conflicts of interest in public service.

Form 700 Filing Requirements and Deadlines

Each designated employee ("Code Filer") must complete a Form 700, under the following situations:  

  • Assuming Office: within 30 days after starting your position
  • Annual Filing: due by April 1 of each year covering January 1 through December 31 of the past year.
    • Exception: If you started office between October 1 and December 31, the Assuming Office Form 700 counts as both Assuming Office and Annual combined. 
  • Leaving Office: within 30 days of leaving your position. 

File on time

If you do not file, you may be referred to the Fair Political Practices Commission's (FPPC) Enforcement Division and fined $10 per position for each day it is late up to $100.

Filing Process

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 that specify the types of financial interests that must be reported by each filer. 

If you are required to file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, your Form 700 must be filed online using eFile-SDCounty.

Forms for other filers whose filings are not retained by the Clerk of the Board must be submitted to their department or agency.

Based on Government Code Section 87200, the following County elected and appointed officials must file electronically with the FPPC.

  • Board of Supervisors: Paloma Aguirre; Joel Anderson; Terra Lawson-Remer; Monica Montgomery Steppe; Jim Desmond 
  • Chief Administrative Officer: Ebony Shelton
  • County Counsel: Damon Brown
  • District Attorney: Summer Stephan
  • Planning Commissioners: Ronald Ashman; Yolanda Calvo; Michael Edwards;
  • David Pallinger; Kevin Sabellico, Colton Sudberry; Molly Weber
  • Treasurer/Tax Collector: Larry Cohen

Public officials who manage public investments must also file electronically directly with the FPPC, instead of their local agency.
