State, County and City Government Consumer Protection Offices
City, county and state consumer protection offices provide
consumers with important services. They might mediate
complaints, conduct investigations, prosecute offenders of
consumer laws, license and regulate a variety of professionals,
promote strong consumer protection legislation, provide
educational materials and advocate in the consumer interest. City
and county consumer offices are familiar with local
businesses and local ordinances and state laws. If there is no
local consumer office in your area, contact your state consumer
office. State offices, sometimes in a separate department of
consumer affairs or the attorney general's or governor's office,
are familiar with state laws and look for statewide patters of
problems. Consumer protection offices in the U.S. territories also
are included. If you have a consumer problem with a business
outside the state where you live, you should contact the consumer
office in the state where the business is located.

To save time, call the office before sending in a written
complaint. Ask if the office handles the type of complaint you
have or if the complaint forms are provided.

Many offices distribute consumer alerts on a variety of consumer
issues. Call to obtain available educational information on your
problem.

This list is arranged in alphabetical order by state name. State,
county and city jurisdictions and "800" and TDD numbers are printed
in bold type.
