     Alamo Residents

    Special Notice to Alamo Residents

    Alamo Residents living in the Alamo Parks and Recreation (CSA R-7A)service area: All R-7A residents are eligible to register for Town-sponsored programs scheduled at Hap Magee Ranch park during the resident registration period. Non-resident fees still apply for these classes and activities. Call 314-3400 for more information.

     Residency Status Clarification

    Residency Status Clarification

    For residents outside the incorporated Town of Danville limits:
    Each quarter, the Town receives a number of questions regarding the residency status for individuals and families wishing to register for Town-sponsored programs and activities. Those living outside the Danville Town limits include residents of the communities of Alamo and Diablo, and the Bettencourt Ranch, Blackhawk, Bryan Ranch, Shadow Creek and Whitegate housing developments. In order to verify your residency in Danville, you can:

    1. Look up your street address in the index of the Thomas Bros. Guide; it will state Danville or Contra Costa County 94506 or;
    2. Review the information on your property tax bill.
    3. Check your residency status online.

    The program and facility fees cover a large portion of the actual costs, though Town of Danville residents also partially support the classes, events and facilities through their property tax assessments. Because of this, those program participants and individuals reserving Town facilities who live outside of Danville pay an additional non-resident charge. If you have any questions about this information, please call 314-3400.
