Report A Concern

The Town of Atherton launched an online and mobile application we call Access Atherton. This tool makes it simple to report non-emergency issues from a smartphone, tablet or desktop computer. The Town tracks these issues and provides updates as they are available and resolved.

You can report non-emergency issues, such as potholes, graffiti, broken sidewalks, traffic signal/sign problems, tree-related issues, and more. To learn more click here.
