.....is an easy way to report non-emergncy problems to City of Tacoma. Contacting 311 provides data for the City of Tacoma to track so they know where to use funding to make repairs. You can either call 311 on your telephone, or use the online Customer Support Center by visiting cityoftacoma.org/tacomafirst311. Share how satisfied you are with City services with the TacomaFirst 311 Survey.
