File a claim

If you have suffered an injury or loss you believe the City may be responsible for, you can submit a report for the City to consider your claim.

For certain types of incidents, you need to place the City “on notice” and forward your claim to us within ten days of the incident.

To file a claim, complete a Claim Report Form. The claim report must contain:

• Name, mailing address, and telephone number of the person making the claim
• Contact name, mailing address, email, and telephone number of the person submitting the claim if someone else is submitting the claim on your behalf
• The date, approximate time of the claim, and location (address or closest intersection)
• A brief description of what happened
• The name of any contractor involved (if applicable)
• Photos, invoices and any other relevant documentation in support of claim

Any payment as a result of property damage or bodily injury is contingent upon the City being found legally liable.
