News & Announcements
Starting Friday, January 16, 2026, the City of Solana Beach will begin using a new official and secure .ca.gov domain as part of a statewide modernization effort led by the California Department of Technology.
As part of this update, the City’s official website will transition to
https://www.cityofsolanabeach.ca.gov, and City staff will begin using new email addresses ending in @cityofsolanabeach.ca.gov.
What This Means for Residents:
Residents do not need to take any action as a result of this change.
- Existing City website links will continue to work and automatically redirect during the transition.
- Emails sent to City staff at their previous @cosb.org email addresses will still be delivered without interruption.
Why This Change Is Happening:
This transition supports a statewide initiative to modernize California government digital services by improving:
- Security – helping protect residents from fraudulent or spoofed websites and emails
- Accessibility – aligning with statewide technology standards
- Public Trust – making it easier to identify official California government communications
The .ca.gov domain is reserved exclusively for verified California government agencies.
