It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to connect with your City government – Huntsville has made it easy. Whether you’re looking to learn the latest news, report issues or just provide feedback, we are ready to assist.

Here are the six easiest and most efficient ways to interact with your City government:

Website

HuntsvilleAL.gov is always available in just a few clicks. Whether you’re on a mobile device or at home in front of a computer, our website is a one-stop-shop for the latest City of Huntsville information.

If you’re seeking happenings across the Rocket City or just want to check out the garbage schedule, our website is the place to look. In addition to information on City services, HuntsvilleAL.gov offers video, news and other important public content in the media center. 

You’re also welcome to search the website for information on various departments, find City Council agendas or get information on business licenses. It’s all available at the touch of a finger on HuntsvilleAL.gov! 

Huntsville Connect

If you have a non-emergency service request, Huntsville Connect is the perfect way to find a fix. 

The free mobile and web application allows residents to report anything from potholes to litter to pets without an owner. The software lets users post photos of their issue and get feedback in real time. If the situation is sensitive, you can report it confidentially.  

Huntsville Connect also ensures you know when the problem is resolved with a quick notification! 

Huntsville Connect is available here or for download on Google Play or the App Store.
