MyPaducah - Service Requests through SeeClickFix

The MyPaducah app and online portal enhances the public’s experience by providing more ways to request a service, report issues, or ask a question. MyPaducah is not for emergencies. Call 9-1-1 for emergency situations.

To create this MyPaducah experience, Paducah has partnered with SeeClickFix through CivicPlus. This is a solution that empowers residents to report quality-of-life issues and request government services and facilitate real-time communication. After an issue is submitted, the team will assign issues to the appropriate department or service, track response time, and evaluate repeating repairs as a tracking tool. Users who register for an account will receive email updates, push notifications, and can return to this page to check the status of submitted issues. When the issue is resolved, citizens are notified, and the issue will be closed. Then, we hope you say, “I Love My Paducah!”
