City of Brockton announces a major upgrade to our city’s digital infrastructure. Effective Monday, July 20, 2026, the City of Brockton will officially transition to a unified .gov domain.
- City Website Is Changing: Moving from brockton.gov to brockton.gov
- City Emails Are Changing: Moving from @brockton.gov to @brockton.gov
WHAT TO KNOW
The old domains will still work for members of the public.
Email Continuity: Members of the public can still use the old @brockton.gov addresses when corresponding with city staff members. These emails will automatically re-route to the employee’s brockton.gov inbox.
City Website Address: Members of the public will be able to use brockton.gov OR brockton.gov to visit the City’s website for services and information. You will automatically be re-routed to the new domain.
WHY THE CHANGE?
A .gov domain is the gold standard for municipalities because it provides verified trust. Administered by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), it is exclusively reserved for government entities, which instantly assures residents and users that the site is official, secure, and immune to commercial impersonation. These domains utilize strict security protocols to prevent spoofing and phishing.
To acquire the .gov domain, Brockton needed to pass a rigorous verification process. This designation reinforces the City’s commitment to security, transparency, and providing residents with a trusted online destination for government services and information.
