This year’s survey will be open starting on Thursday, September 12, and will remain open until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 30. The survey is open to any resident 18 and over. To participate, you can access the survey here. 

The survey questions ask about the following issues:

• Favorability of County services 
• Usage of amenities and facilities  
• Participation in County programs  
• Customer and constituent service of County employees  
• Effectiveness of County communications

To ensure a diverse and representative sample, the survey has been sent to 5,000 randomly selected households, with instructions available in English, Spanish, Chinese, French, Korean, Vietnamese, Persian/Farsi, and Amharic. In addition, all residents are welcome and encouraged to participate by completing the online version to help the County improve customer service and gather feedback that informs budgetary and policy decisions.
