We invite you to explore the new website and discover all the services, programs, and new initiatives the City of Salem offers.  

The address hasn't changed. It's still https://www.cityofsalem.net. The website offers new features and functions designed to better address the needs of our community, including: 

  • Easier access through side menu navigation 
  • Prominent, home page buttons linking to our website’s most popular pages 
  • Translation into dozens of languages 
  • An “I want to…” menu that makes it easier to find what you need to do 
  • Flexible and responsive design, including better mobile device presentation 
  • Improved accessibility for screen readers 
  • Integrated social media feeds and video content 
  • Searchable, sortable, and easily navigated event calendar
  • A new “Shaping Salem’s Future” section that offers information about our many projects and planning efforts in one convenient location

We hope you find our website helpful and easy to use. We invite you to share your thoughts on the new website through the “Give Website Feedback” link found at the bottom of all web pages.
