Ask Stockton is the front door for many city service requests
Ask Stockton gives residents one place to report many non-emergency city issues, find information, and send service requests with a location, photo, topic, and short description.
In Stockton, Ask Stockton is a practical place to start many everyday city service requests. It gives residents one front door instead of making them guess which department owns the problem.
Use it for non-emergency issues where a location, photo, and short note would help. Common examples include potholes, graffiti, street problems, and other repair requests that need the right city team.
The flow is simple. Choose a topic. Mark the location. Add a picture if it helps. Then explain the issue in a sentence or two. Those details help route the request.
Public Works Operations and Maintenance is another helpful name to know. It handles many service needs from the Municipal Service Center. That page can help when the issue is clearly about a street, traffic signal, city facility, or repair crew.
If the problem is urgent, use the contact route shown for that kind of issue. For everyday fixes, Ask Stockton is usually the easiest first stop.
