**Update: Price Gouging Enforcement


Los Angeles County has approved an urgency ordinance to strengthen protections for County consumers and small businesses, and to eliminate price gouging during the COVID-19 pandemic and other emergencies. Effective immediately, the ordinance authorizes the filing of civil actions against price gougers and imposes a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per violation.

If you've seen examples of price gouging in your community or online, report it to L.A. County's Department of Business and Consumer Affairs (DCBA) counselors.

To file a complaint online visit stoppricegouging.dcba.lacounty.gov. You can also call (800) 593-8222 to speak to one of our consumer counselors directly. ***

On March 25, 2020, Governor Newsom announced financial institutions will provide mortgage relief for a vast majority of people. Californians economically impacted by COVID-19 may receive 90-day grace periods to make mortgage payments. Click here for more information.

The Los Angeles County Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) websites have a wealth of information on what you can do to protect yourself, your family and your community.
