Public Works Contact Information

Not sure who to contact?   

For pressing problems that need immediate attention, call our customer service center, 564.397.2446.  After hours or on weekends and holidays, this number will  reach an answering service, which can dispatch a county crew if necessary.

Common maintenance problems, such as a pothole or vegetation issue, can be reported by using the online maintenance request form. County staff typically receives these electronic maintenance requests from 6:30 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

To report off-leash or aggressive dogs in county parks, call Clark County Animal Control, 564.397.2488, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. For animal issues outside of business hours, call 311.

For life-threatening emergencies, always call 911 immediately.
