EnglishWhat Is lacity.gov and What Can You Do on the Site?
Updated
lacity.gov is the official website of the City of Los Angeles. It is a central hub for residents, businesses, and visitors to find popular City services and information. If you need to request a city service, look up a department contact, find your council district, or check meeting agendas, this is the site to start with.
What the Site Is For
The homepage describes itself as the official website of the City of Los Angeles, built to help three main audiences: residents, businesses, and visitors. Rather than being a single-purpose portal, it aggregates services and information from across City government into one entry point.
Main Things You Can Do
Request City Services
The site's first major action area is Request City Services. This covers things like:
- Trash pickup
- Graffiti removal
- Street issues and more
This is the starting point when you have a problem in your neighborhood that a City department needs to handle.
Find Meetings and Agendas
The Meetings & Agendas section points to City council and committee meetings and agendas. Use this if you want to know when officials are meeting or what is being decided.
Look Up Contacts
The City Directory provides contacts for the City's officials and departments. This is useful when you need to reach a specific office rather than submit a general service request.
Get Neighborhood Info
Neighborhood Info helps you find your council district, your trash pickup day, and more. This is the section to check when you need information tied to your specific address or area.
Current Highlights on the Homepage
The homepage also surfaces time-sensitive information and news, including:
| Item | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Boyle Heights Fire Information | A central hub for information, updates, and resources at emergency.lacity.gov/BoyleHeightsRecovery |
| Heat Advisory Resources | Cooling centers, heat safety tips, and resources at emergency.lacity.gov/heat |
| National Preparedness Month | Guidance to create an emergency plan for yourself, family, and neighborhood at emergency.lacity.gov/preparedness-month |
There are also featured videos and news items organized under Residents, Business, and Government categories, plus a Connect With Us section.
When to Use lacity.gov
Use lacity.gov when you need to:
- Report or request a non-emergency City service
- Find out when a council or committee meeting happens
- Get a department or official's contact information
- Confirm your council district or trash pickup day
- Check current City news and emergency resources
For emergencies, note that the site directs users to separate emergency.lacity.gov pages rather than the main homepage.
