DocketCity is an open, searchable index of public records from city councils, county commissions, and other local government boards across the United States. It brings agendas, legislation, meeting minutes, videos, and public contract information into one search experience, making civic activity easier to find and follow. The service draws directly from government publishing systems, including Legistar, PrimeGov, and CivicClerk, rather than retyping or editing their records.

Where available, figures link back to the source documents. Users can search for topics, places, suppliers, and contracts, browse upcoming meetings and recent legislation, and explore coverage by state and jurisdiction. DocketCity also highlights public contracts approaching their end dates, helping users identify opportunities that may return to bid.

The site provides free searching, along with features such as alerts and an API. It describes its coverage transparently, noting that data availability varies by county. DocketCity’s purpose is to make local government information more accessible while preserving a connection to the records published by the governments themselves
