Community Registry
The Community Registry (CR) is a database of self-registered neighborhood associations and other community organizations. It is an important communication tool for neighborhoods and other development-interested groups to be notified of land use issues relating to their area. It was established in 1996 by a City Council Resolution. The CR is maintained by the City of Austin Neighborhood Assistance Center in Austin Development Services.
Organizations registered in the Community Registry must update their record annually. If no changes have happened within your group, please submit an update with "No Changes" noted.

Community Registry Data Online
Non-confidential data from the Community Registry is available on the Austin Open Data Portal as a service to the community. The registry data can be used to reach all or a subset of the registered organizations. Each row contains one organization’s name, primary contact information, group-provided membership counts, meeting information, declared boundaries for the sake of notifications, and the date each record was last updated by the organization. This dataset is updated monthly; the latest update is noted in the dataset introduction.
