I've noticed this. I wonder if recent events have bogged it down to the point of crashing.

I tried accessing the finance dept for tax information and couldn't access it. Maybe that has something to do with it...a tax scandal! ;)

Might have something to do with the effort to re-design the site.

While it looks like the city website is still down, the good news is that you can shortcut straight to the BSA tax assessment webpage for the city (if that's what you're looking for) by using this link:

Every time the City has a crisis their web site goes down.

Just speculating, but...
When there's a crisis in the City, I imagine there's a corresponding peak in web traffic. If the site can't handle those sudden peaks, it may explain the downtime.

I don't like the new site. Its way too simplistic for a big city like this.

This thread is missing a crucial link: http://www.ci.detroit.mi.us/.

There's a conspicuous absence of a Spirit of Detroit image on that page.
