Join Niles Connect
Create your Niles Connect account.
Most of Niles Connect is open to browse without an account.
Create an account when you are ready to participate, share information,
request help, join activities, connect with neighbors, or manage
a local business listing.
Participation is optional
You do not need an account just to browse.
News, public community information, local businesses, events,
public records, investigations, and most other public parts
of Niles Connect can be viewed without registering.
Browse freely
Explore public information around the site without creating
a profile or participating interactively.
Participate when ready
An account gives you access to interactive community features
such as submissions, activities, profiles, and connections.
Your account is yours
Your WordPress account provides the foundation for the different
participating tools available through Niles Connect.

Account vs. community profile
Your site account and community profile are different.
Creating a Niles Connect account does not automatically create
a public resident profile. Community-profile information is handled
separately through My Niles and the resident connection tools.
Niles Connect account
Your basic account allows the site to identify you when using
interactive features.
Community profile
A community profile contains information used for activities,
neighbor discovery, and resident connections.
You control participation
You can use public portions of Niles Connect without participating
in the resident connection system.
Before participating
Review the community standards.
Interactive features are governed by Niles Connect community,
moderation, privacy, and safety expectations.

Safety

If you already have a Niles Connect account, My Niles is your
personal starting point for profiles, activities, connections,
submissions, and other account-related tools.
Registration is for participation.
Creating an account does not provide special access to public records,
government services, or official government systems. Niles Connect is
an independent community project.
