Resident Account

An opt-in account that pulls a resident's requests, payments, permits, and records requests into one "My Activity" view — plus notification preferences for how and in which language they hear from the entity.

Resident-facingOpt-inEngage tierBilingual EN / ES

A resident opts in to a single account that gathers everything they've done with the entity — their 311 reports, their payments, their permits, their records requests — into one "My Activity" hub, and sets how they want to be notified: email, SMS, or push, in English or Spanish. One front door for the resident, instead of a scattered set of lookup codes.

What you can do

Opt-in

Create an account

A resident opts in to a unified account on the portal — no requirement, just one place to see their own activity if they want it.

Activity

One "My Activity" hub

The account pulls the resident's requests, payments, permits, and records requests into a single, chronological activity view.

Requests

Track 311 reports

See the status of every service request the resident filed, without re-entering a reference code each time.

Payments

See what's owed & paid

The account surfaces the resident's payment lines and receipts, so the money picture is in one place.

Preferences

Set notification preferences

Choose how to be notified — email, SMS, push — and in which language; the entity's messages follow the choice.

Permits & records

Follow permits & requests

Permit applications and records requests show their current stage in the same hub, so nothing has to be chased by phone.

A typical workflow

  1. Opt in — the resident creates an account from the portal.
  2. See My Activity — their requests, payments, permits, and records requests gather into one view.
  3. Set preferences — pick email, SMS, or push, and a preferred language.
  4. Get notified their way — status changes across modules reach them on their chosen channel and language.
  5. Come back anytime — one login replaces juggling separate lookup codes.

A closer look

In practice
A resident who reported a pothole, paid a permit fee, and filed a records request used to track three things three ways. With a Resident Account, all three sit in one "My Activity" list, each showing its current status. She sets her preference to Spanish SMS — and from then on, every update across those modules reaches her by text, in Spanish, without the office having to ask each time.
Where it lives
Resident-facing: the tenant's resident portal. "My Activity" and notification preferences live behind the resident's own opt-in login — distinct from the staff dashboard.

Works with

311 / Service Requests for the reports the hub tracks · Payments for the resident's charges and receipts · Permits & Licensing for the applications in progress.
