How do I report a claim against the city?
Claim for Damages forms are available in Finance Department at city hall, or you may use the Claim for Damages form provided on this website. Fill in all pertinent information and return it to Finance Department with any substantiating documents, including but not limited to: damage estimates, photographs, incident reports, medical bills, etc. Please make necessary copies prior to submittal.



The information will be immediately forwarded to the city's insurance authority pool (Washington Cities Insurance Authority). They will proceed with an investigation of the claim and respond to claimant directly regardless of whether the claim has been accepted or will be denied.



Should the need arise for you or a witness to report an incident that did not result in damage to you or your personal property, an Incident Report can be filed with the City Clerk; please fill in all pertinent information and return it to Finance Department
