South Coast AQMD provides assistance and services to support clean air efforts in our communities throughout our region. Residents, community organizations, government, small business owners, and others can access these resources through our Local Government and Community Relations and Small Business Assistance programs.

The Local Government and Community Relations team focuses on actively engaging on air quality issues with the public, educational institutions, cities, counties, and other entities. They regularly attend events and meetings to provide information on air quality, how to file air quality complaints, and programs benefiting residents, businesses, and organizations. Additionally, they actively gather feedback from communities, ensuring responsiveness to public concerns. Contact information for the Local Government and Community Relations team can be found at http://www.aqmd.gov/nav/contact/regional-contacts.

The Small Business Assistance team offers services to assist businesses with South Coast AQMD information. They can assist in identifying applicable rules, aiding with recordkeeping, fee review requests, compliance issues, variance petitions, permit applications, checklists, and clearance letters. For business assistance, please call 1-800-388-2121 or email at smallbizassistance@aqmd.gov for complimentary support.
