The California Pines Community Services District was formed in 1969 to serve the needs of the California Pines Subdivision and is located about 10 miles southwest of Alturas in the county of Modoc. The subdivided area encompassed over 10,700 acres, whereas the District included more than 24,700 acres. Additional land was annexed to the District in 1970 and 1975, so the District now comprises approximately 80 square miles. The District serves a population of roughly 350 people. There are over 11,000 lots in the hill units and additional vacant lots in the lake units, so the CSD could potentially have a population of over 35,000. The California Pines CSD overlaps with both the Canby Fire Protection District and the Alturas Rural Fire Protection District. The California Pines CSD funds a fire station in the lake units and has an automatic aid agreement with the Canby Fire Protection District (FPD).
