What is TextMyGov?
TextMyGov is a simple way for residents to communicate with their local government using text messages. By texting a keyword to your community’s TextMyGov phone number, you can quickly find information, report issues, and receive updates without downloading an app or navigating a website. Features may vary by community, so available options depend on how your municipality has chosen to use the system.
Residents can text keywords to a 10-digit town or city telephone number to get instant answers at any time of day. Common uses include finding office hours, trash schedules, permits, meeting agendas, or election information. You can also report issues by texting a reporting keyword and answering a few follow-up questions, which may include an address or photo. These messages are reviewed by local officials during normal business operations.
If enabled, residents can also opt in to receive text alerts from a 5-digit short code for important updates, such as:
- Weather and emergency alerts
- Road closures and service disruptions
- Event announcements and meeting reminders
- Election dates and civic updates
