SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – The City of South Lake Tahoe is inviting residents to participate in a Community-Wide Survey to measure the quality of life and government services in the community. The survey offers residents a direct way to share their perspectives and help shape the future of South Lake Tahoe. The City will use the results to guide strategic planning initiatives and align its goals with the community’s priorities.
The National Community Survey (The NCS) was developed by National Research Center at Polco. The survey captures opinions on the economy, mobility, community design, utilities, safety, natural environment, inclusivity, engagement, and other elements of South Lake Tahoe’s overall livability. Results will highlight the City’s strengths, identify areas for improvement, and show how South Lake Tahoe compares to other communities nationwide as well as the City’s 2024 Community Survey results.
Mailed surveys have been sent to randomly selected households and residents are encouraged to follow the enclosed instructions to complete the survey. Those who do not receive a mailed invitation will have the opportunity to participate starting April 15, when the survey becomes available online for the entire community.
“We strongly encourage all residents to take part in the Community Survey,” said Hilary Roverud, Interim City Manager. “The feedback we receive is essential for understanding what matters most to our community. It helps us improve our services and plan initiatives that truly reflect the priorities and needs of South Lake Tahoe residents.”
For more information on this process and to access the online survey once it goes live on April 15, please visit www.cityofslt.gov/CommunitySurvey2026. The survey closes on Wednesday, April 29.
