Stories in the City 2019
Pull up a chair, friends and neighbors -- we've got a story to tell! We present our 2019 story map -- an online, interactive presentation of the City of Battle Creek's top activities and accomplishments from last year. We've used text, photos, videos, and interactive maps to tell the city's story. It's a unique sort of annual report. Sometimes pages-long reports are necessary, but we hope this format offers a fun, easy way to learn more about our services, programs, and projects.

Dog & Cat Licensing
Is a dog or cat part of your family? If you live in the City of Battle Creek, our local ordinance requires you to purchase a license for each pet. We want to keep pets with their families, and this goes a long way in helping do that! We have a new licensing program -- working with DocuPet -- and it is now even easier to license your pets. You can do it online, by phone, by mail, and in person. Click the link below to visit our licensing web page, and learn more.
