City of Allen E-News

May 22, 2015

Getting in touch with your city is now easier than ever! This month we launched Allen's first mobile app, called MyAllen. It allows users to submit non-emergency service requests or browse the city's frequently-asked questions. When you request a repair or report an issue through MyAllen, the message is routed automatically to the appropriate department, The app also features city news, job postings, a staff contact list, and park and trail directories.

The free app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play store by searching "MyAllen." Don't have a smartphone? Don't worry; you can access all the features of the app using Allen's Online Help Desk.
