Dialing for Dollars (or Answers): The Power of 311
Tired of playing phone tag with a dozen different departments? There's a hero in this story, and its cape is made of efficiency! Fresno's magic number is 311. This bad boy connects you to a team of friendly folks who can answer your questions, report issues, or point you in the right direction. Think of it as your personal city concierge – minus the snooty attitude.
Now, here's the super cool part: You can also report issues through the FresGO app. Pothole got you feeling like you're on a monster truck rally? Graffiti making your neighborhood look less Sesame Street and more, well, not Sesame Street? Snap a pic, file a report – and voila! The city ninjas will be on it (hopefully armed with spackle and street repaving equipment, not nunchucks).
Calling the Big Leagues: When 311 Isn't Enough
Maybe your question requires a specialist's touch, or perhaps you just crave the human connection (we all have those days). Fear not, for the City of Fresno website also provides department-specific phone numbers [reach out and touch someone!].
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
Here's a handy dandy tip: If you're unsure which department to call, start with 311. They'll be happy to play Cupid and match you with the perfect city service soul mate.
Website Warriors: Conquering the Digital Frontier
The City of Fresno website [surf's up, dude!] is a treasure trove of information, from permits and licenses to park hours and community events.

Bonus Tip: The website also features live broadcasts of council meetings, so you can witness local democracy in action (and maybe learn a thing or two about the inner workings of your city). Just don't blame us if you get hooked on watching council members debate the merits of pothole repair strategies – it's surprisingly riveting stuff.
