The City of Beaumont Launches New Website with Many New and Improved Features
Attention Citizens: The City of Beaumont has a new website coming soon! On Monday, July 24, you may notice downtime for a few hours as we launch the new site. We appreciate your patience as we’ve been hard at work creating a better user experience with enhanced functionality and new features.
There’s a big, bold help center on the homepage focused on our citizens – as a way to get your questions answered, provide suggestions and report concerns. With a fresh, modern design and intuitive navigation, it will provide you with easier access to information about City services and programs. A big priority was being able to offer a personalized web experience with the ability to subscribe to alerts you’re interested in. Thank you for your trust as we continue to evolve and strive to serve you better.
