The four steps, with sources
- Step 1 — County: look up the parcel at the LA County Assessor (assessor.lacounty.gov) or Ventura County Assessor (assessor.countyofventura.org) — the address will resolve in exactly one. The APN format itself differs by county.
- Step 2 — District: LA County side = Las Virgenes Unified; Ventura County side = Conejo Valley Unified. There are no exceptions inside Westlake Village city limits.
- Step 3 — School assignments: use the district's current locator/attendance tools (LVUSD and CVUSD both publish them) for the elementary/middle/high assignments — boundaries within each district can change.
- Step 4 — Written confirmation: for school-driven purchases, request written verification from the district office during your contingency period. Enrollment policies and boundaries are the district's to set.
Why this matters more than it looks
The split runs through the middle of the community and the lake itself — neighbors across one street can hold different districts, property-tax administrations, and high-school paths (Agoura High vs Westlake High). The side-decision guide covers what each path means; the White Oak zone guide and split explainer carry the school detail. This page exists for one job: making the verification itself foolproof.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if a Westlake Village home is LVUSD or CVUSD?
Pull the parcel's county from the assessor record: LA County = LVUSD (Agoura High path); Ventura County = CVUSD (Westlake High path). Then confirm specific schools with the district's locator.
Can the listing or ZIP code tell me the district?
No — listings cross-label and the 91361/91362 ZIPs don't track the county line. Only the parcel's county record decides it.
Does Westlake Village feed Westlake High?
Only the Ventura County (CVUSD) side. The LA County side's LVUSD path runs toward Agoura High — the most commonly missed fact in this market.
