Opa-locka Unveils TextMyGov for Direct Citizen Access to City Information and Issue Reporting

Opa-locka residents now have a new, convenient way to connect with their city government and report local issues. The City of Opa-locka recently launched TextMyGov, a service designed to provide easy access to city information and a streamlined process for reporting community concerns directly from a mobile phone.

Through TextMyGov, citizens can quickly obtain details on various city services and departments. This includes information on City Council meetings, upcoming events, utility services, recreational activities, and tax inquiries. The service aims to make essential city information readily available to residents without requiring them to navigate complex websites or make multiple phone calls.

Beyond information access, TextMyGov also empowers residents to report non-emergency issues affecting their neighborhoods. Users can report problems such as water leaks, potholes, stray animals, or code violations directly through text message. This direct line of communication is intended to improve response times and efficiency in addressing community concerns.

To utilize the service, residents simply save Opa-locka’s dedicated text number, 305-902-1002, to their phones. By texting “Hi” or specific city keywords, users can initiate a conversation and access the desired information or reporting options. Additionally, residents can opt-in to receive real-time City Alerts by texting “Opa-locka” to 91896, ensuring they stay informed about important updates and emergencies. Users can opt out of these alerts at any time by texting “STOP.”
