Slow Response Time
The city's website is designed to provide reasonable user response at all times. Due to the high demands on the phoenix.gov site, the explosive growth that the Internet is experiencing on a constant basis, and technical difficulties that occur on the Internet from time to time, phoenix.gov response time can vary greatly throughout the day. We strive to provide the public with at least 24-hours advance notice on specific pages that will be down for maintenance or intermittently unavailable. Watch for these messages on the pages you are visiting for maintenance updates that may affect your access to the site.
