National Community Survey

Let's Talk Temple! The City of Temple wants to hear from you and has launched a community-wide resident survey to gather feedback on city services and overall quality of life.

The National Community Survey (NCS) is used by cities across the country, and your responses help guide important decisions like budget planning, strategic priorities, and future city services so that plans reflect what matters most to our community.

How to participate:

Phase 1: Randomly selected households received a mailed survey invitation starting January 8
Phase 2: The online survey opens to ALL Temple residents February 5
The survey closes February 19

To learn more and access the second phase of the survey beginning February 5, visit templetx.gov/survey.
