New city website
The City of San Jose’s new website launched earlier this month, and the reimagined site aims to be more accessible to residents with disabilities and those who speak languages other than English. The website is also now compatible with mobile versions, meaning residents can use it on their cell phones or tablets, and it also makes it easier to find city services, like building permits and bulk trash pickups. Find the new site at www.SanJoseCA.gov.
