CivicPlus — municipal websites, 311, agenda, recreation

CivicPlus runs a meaningful share of US small and mid-sized municipal websites, plus 311, recreation registration, and notification systems.

Reporting path

Contract clauses to read first

  • Notification window — typically 72 hours for confirmed customer-data exposure.
  • PCI scope for recreation registration and payment modules — your municipality and CivicPlus are joint responsible parties; clarify the lines.
  • Resident-notification responsibility — usually sits with the municipality even if CivicPlus is the breached party.
