File a Government Claim

Lost food, damaged appliances, or other costs from an outage? You can seek compensation from the City — but first you must file a Government Claim against the City and County of San Francisco (and TIDA / SFPUC). You have 6 months from each outage to file (Cal. Gov. Code § 911.2).

  2. Print it, then sign and date by hand.
  3. Mail or hand-deliver — SF does not accept emailed or faxed claims.
  4. Send certified mail, return receipt and keep a copy.
