Where can I download the app?

The app is available at the Apple App Store and Google Play store.  

I don’t see the type of problem I want to report.

Check the city website for information on how to report problems you don’t see on the app. For emergencies, always dial 9-1-1.

Do I have to use this new system?

Nope. If you'd rather just call or email city staff without using the app, here's a list of contact information. 

I have feedback about the app.  Where do I send it?

Please send any questions or comments about Carlsbad Connects to carlsbadconnects@carlsbadca.gov

Do I need to create an account in order to submit a service request?

Most types of service requests can be submitted without creating an account.  The login screen will be presented after you select “Create“ or “Account.”  Choose “Create anonymously” to continue without logging in. Some service request types do, however, require that you login.  These are requests where city staff will likely need to contact you in order to complete.

What will you do with my contact information?

We’ll only use it to contact you about the status of your request. We won’t share it or sell it or do anything else to compromise your privacy. However, we may be required to disclose it under the California Public Records Act or a court order. 

Why can’t I report code violations and other stuff?

We’ll be adding more categories as we go. For now, we started with the most requested services.
