Welcome to RMA

The Resource Management Agency strives to ensure that its customer service standards are consistent with the Agency’s Mission Statement:

The mission of the Resource Management Agency, in cooperation with the public and our partner agencies, is to protect the consumer and community’s health, safety, and environment by carrying out adopted laws and policies, and educating, assisting, and empowering Ventura County residents and businesses to be good stewards of the land and our resources.

Values

In addition, RMA has identified those core values which will guide us in carrying out our mission. These values are directly related to our customer service and include:

  • Honesty, hard work, and ethical behavior

  • Transparency and accountability

  • Equitable treatment and respect of all constituents

  • Excellence in service delivery

There may be times when you want to make a complaint but don't know who you should contact. Making a complaint through the right channels could result in a better outcome for you, and may help improve things for other people, too. Please don't be reluctant to come forward if you feel something is wrong. Below you can find a list of possible complaints with links to information regarding that type of complaint.

The first thing you need to do is to find out if you're living in the unincorporated area of Ventura County or within a city. This is important because the County of Ventura has limited authority within city limits and if you have a city compliant you should contact that city and not the County. There is a quick way to find out if you're in a city or in the unincorporated area of Ventura County.
