Columbus 311: report an issue, and explore every request on a map
Two things live here: how to report a problem to the City of Columbus, and how to read the resulting 311 data as a map. Enter an address to see recent requests near a parcel.
Report a problem to the City of Columbus
To file a 311 request — a pothole, missed pickup, code violation, graffiti — contact the City’s 311 Customer Service Center directly:
- Online: 311.columbus.gov
- By phone: 311 (or 614-645-3111 from outside the city)
- On your phone: the Columbus 311 mobile app
Civic Worth is an independent synthesis of public records — it is not the City and does not receive or forward 311 reports. Use the channels above to file one.
Explore 311 as data
Every 311 request the City closes is published as open data. Civic Worth places each one on its parcel and rolls the results up by neighborhood, so you can see how fast requests are resolved and where code-enforcement complaints cluster — not just your own request’s status. Start with the 311 response-time map and the code-enforcement map.
