St. Joseph City officials are encouraging residents to explore recent upgrades to the city's website allowing people to report concerns at anytime to the city.
SeeClickFix serves as a one-stop platform to receive, track and respond to resident service requests. The platform has been added to the city website, allowing residents to report a wide range of issues including animal services, code enforcement, dangerous buildings, health concerns, parks maintenance, parking problems and street repairs.
The system is available around the clock, allowing residents to submit requests day or night, even outside regular City business hours, and is available on mobile devices as well as online browsers. It also ensures that each request is directed to the appropriate department within the city.
While residents have been able to report issues through the city’s website for some time, the latest enhancements now allow users to monitor their request as it progresses. This improvement is another way city officials are working to strengthen response to resident concerns, keep the public better informed and hold staff accountable for timely and effective service.
“These improvements give residents clear visibility into how their requests are handled from start to finish, which strengthens trust and transparency,” City Manager Mike Schumacher said in a news release from the city. “By making it easier to report issues and track progress in real time, we’re ensuring our team stays responsive and accountable while delivering timely, effective service.”
Residents can access SeeClickFix in two ways. The first is by visiting the city's website at and clicking the Report a Concern button at the top of the page or by downloading the SeeClickFix app on a mobile device and selecting St. Joseph, Missouri
