Report an Issue

The City of Monte Sereno has launched a new online and mobile application for a request management system, called Fix It Monte Sereno, to provide residents with an effortless way to participate in community-based reporting via their smartphones, other mobile devices or from their desktop computers. A resident may snap a picture of a problem and send it to the City via Fix It Monte Sereno. These issues will automatically be entered into the database system and channeled to the appropriate department to be resolved. Fix It Monte Sereno also allows residents to track their submissions and engage other members of the community. The City will provide updates as submissions are acknowledged and resolved.

Please note that this app should be used for non-emergency issues only. Call 911 for all emergencies. 

As this system is not monitored 24/7, issues related to public safety or those requiring immediate attention (wires or tree limbs down, etc.) should be reported directly to the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Non-Emergency Line at (408) 354-8600.

Please use a detailed address, description, and photo (if possible) to give as much information to city staff, so they can investigate and determine the best way to address your concerns.
