Colma

Colma is a town of 1,500 with more dead than living — a unique necropolis of 17 cemeteries established after San Francisco banned new burials in 1900. Incorporated 1924, governed by a five-member Council, its funeral industry generates surprising fiscal stability for one of California's smallest towns.

CivicCause organizes issues, meetings, elections, and public activity around Colma so you can see what is happening locally and how it connects to broader county decisions.

The Colma City Council is scheduled to meet on May 27, 2026, for a regular council meeting. This session is the most recent city-specific public meeting available and represents the next opportunity for residents to hear updates and see decisions on local matters directly affecting Colma.

Following that, the council has another regular meeting planned for June 10, 2026. While there are no current news reports or detailed agenda items available, residents interested in city governance should note these upcoming meetings as key moments for public engagement. Broader tracked issues like Colma’s unique commercial tax base and community identity remain relevant background topics but have no immediate meeting actions scheduled.
