Summit County is launching a new communication platform via TextMyGov, a convenient and smart text messaging service for residents to connect with county services. This service enables residents to effortlessly receive important non-emergency notifications and easily find specific information or report issues by texting the county.
Summit County will officially launch the new text messaging system to the public on Wednesday, December 11, 2024. Residents who have a cell phone number listed with the Post Office will likely receive a text message from 91896 from Summit County initiating the service. You can choose to opt out at any time by texting STOP.
If you don’t receive the initial message, you can opt-in by texting the keyword “SUMMITCOUNTY” to the number 91896. After sending the initial keyword, you will be asked to reply “YES” to confirm opt-in. Residents may receive notifications for events, county service disruptions, and more.
For specific text alerts, text one of the following keywords to the number 91896:
- For county road construction, snow plowing, and other updates from Public Works: text SCROADS
- For health advisories and other Health Department updates: text SCHEALTH
- For information on Summit Bike Share: text SCBIKE
Additional notification categories will be released in 2025. Beginning Spring 2025, residents can receive on-demand information 24/7 by texting 1-2 keywords to Summit County’s TextMyGov number, 435-495-4090. You’ll be able to get quick information about county departments and elected offices, and report concerns.
