Welcome to the City of Mount Vernon!

We are truly a City of Pride & Greatness.  We are a city full of people who have deep roots in the community and a vested interest in the success of a city that has not yet begun to even approach its full potential.  We are a city that cares about our young people, who give us all the reason in the world to push forward.  We are a city that cares about our seniors, who remind us of our rich history and our obligation to preserve and improve our quality of life.  And, we are a city that cares about all of the hard-working families that make what we do everyday here at City Hall possible.  Our commitment is to you.

Since I became Mount Vernon’s 20 ^th Mayor on January 1, 2008, my administration has been working diligently to put into place my plan of action called “Mount Vernon First.”  I have and will continue to bring in professional staff who cares about your concerns and who wants to help.  I have placed a priority on establishing a real plan for the development of Mount Vernon, one that focuses on smart economic growth, sustainable design, and green initiatives.  And, I have and will continue to put in cost-controlling measures in our departments that will save the city money and, hopefully, in the future, reduce taxes. 

Please think of this website as your 24-hour-a-day city government.  Soon you’ll be able to do almost everything you’d be able to in a visit to City Hall from the comfort of your own home.  Access & download forms, sign-up for programs & services, and even pay your tickets, taxes, bills, & fees. 

Finally, as we are all here to help you, please help us by letting us know how we can improve our new website.  Just click here and tell us what improvements you feel we can make so we can provide the best service possible.

Together we will make Mount Vernon the best city in Westchester County.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Clinton I. Young, Jr.

Mayor
