Use the Report & Pay web app to apply for services, pay bills, report issues, and make requests.

Berkeleyans can use the City's Report & Pay web app on any device to access the most frequently requested services through a simple interface that operates by touch on smartphones and tablets.

• Apply: for a job or services ranging from a business license to a building permit
• Request: services or documents, from public records and birth certificates to library cards and street tree maintenance
