Local services and rules

Moving to Santa Fe Springs: who to call and what the city asks.

Santa Fe Springs is a city in Los Angeles County, California, one of the Gateway Cities of southeast Los Angeles County. Parking or storing RVs and other large vehicles on public streets is prohibited unless a permit allows it. Running a business from a home takes both a business license and a home occupation permit.

Street parking and Tuesday and Thursday sweeping

A vehicle may stay on a public street for no more than 72 consecutive hours, and it must be parked legally with valid registration.

Temporary permits for parking an RV or trailer on a city street come from the Police Services Center. The permit needs proof of residency and valid vehicle registration.

Street sweeping takes place every Tuesday and Thursday. Residents and property owners must follow posted street sweeping signs. Vehicles must be moved on sweeping days to avoid a citation.

Construction hours in residential zones

Construction work in or around a residential zone is allowed Monday through Friday from 7:00AM to 5:00PM. On Saturdays it is allowed from 8:00AM to 5:00PM. Construction work does not take place on Sundays and certain holidays.

City water service and the water bill

City water service reaches most Santa Fe Springs homes and businesses. A few other water companies serve parts of town, and the water bill shows which agency serves an address.

Stopping city water service takes 24 hours of advance notice by phone or email.

Bulky items, used oil and paint

Large bulky items are handled through the household's trash hauler, which arranges delivery and disposal.

Used motor oil is taken to a used oil recycling center, including auto-parts stores in and near Santa Fe Springs. Unwanted paint can be taken to local drop-off sites. Some of those sites set a volume limit and ask callers to phone ahead.

Questions about recycling programs for electronics and hazardous waste go to the City Manager's Office at 562-868-0511, ext. 7510.

Little Lake City School District enrollment

Little Lake City School District serves Santa Fe Springs, Norwalk and Downey.

Enrolling a new student requires a recent original bill showing the parent's or guardian's name and a residence address inside the district boundaries.

Library card, dog license, Metrolink permit and voter forms

A card at the Santa Fe Springs City Library takes a photo identification and confirmation of address. Anyone living in California with a photo ID and confirmation of address can get a Santa Fe Springs library card, even from outside the city.

Dogs must be licensed every year, and licenses are available at the Police Services Center on Telegraph Road. A dog license requires proof of current rabies vaccination valid through the whole licensing period, July 1 to June 30.

The City offers transportation for residents 60 and older or with a disability, covering medical appointments, nutrition programs and essential shopping. Advance registration and reservation are required. Every vehicle parked at the Norwalk/Santa Fe Springs Metrolink Station must display a parking permit.

Voter registration forms can be picked up at City Hall.
