TextMyGov Announcement
The City of Montevallo is thrilled to introduce
TextMyGov, a convenient and smart text messaging service! This service will
enable residents to effortlessly receive important notifications and easily
find specific information by texting the city.
The city will officially launch the new text messaging
system to the public on May 5th, 2026. Residents may receive a text
message from 91896 from the city
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 choose to opt-in by texting the keyword “MONTEVALLO” 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 street closures, events,
Public Works notices, etc. For
specific text alerts, text one of the following keywords to the number 91896: Code,
Garbage Issue, Streets, Downed Tree.
The City of Montevallo’s use of this technology is another example of how our community enhances resident services by implementing 21st century solutions. We’re excited about this new way of communicating with residents and look forward to sharing important city notifications. Other governmental entities across the country are utilizing this system with great success. Stay informed, stay ahead.
Sincerely,
Lisa Shapiro
Administrative Assistant
to the Mayor
