County of El Dorado
Government AdministrationCalifornia, United States501-1000 Employees
El Dorado County functions as a local government, delivering public services across 1,805 square miles of rolling hills and mountains in east-central California. It has operated under a charter since 1994, and its Board of Supervisors—five members elected from distinct districts—oversees governance, appoints the chief administrative officer and non-elected department heads, and carries out duties defined by the Constitution, general law, and the charter. Based in Placerville, the county includes two municipalities, South Lake Tahoe and Placerville—the latter serving as the county seat and the former the larger city. Its landscape stretches from the Lake Tahoe basin in the northeast to the western slope west of Echo Summit, influencing how services are organized for residents outside incorporated areas. In 2026, the board took steps to adjust leadership, appointing a new chief administrative officer and promoting the chief probation officer, reflecting ongoing governance updates.
