The City of Mentor strives to provide our residents with an open, accessible government. It is in this spirit of communication that we present our official website. In addition to using this site, we communicate regularly through our quarterly newsletters, e-newsletters, recreation brochures, The Mentor Channel 12 and on Mentor Radio 1620. We welcome and encourage your inquiries, requests for service, comments and suggestions.

We take great pride in the quality of city services that we provide to our residents. Your local income tax dollars make these services possible, and we thank you for your continued support.

If you are a business owner looking for a vital community in which to locate or expand your business, please contact our Economic Development Department. Mentor is home to a significant number of biomedical firms and international and national corporate headquarters. Our staff works to encourage the growth of young companies and offers many attractive incentives to ensure success.

Mentor is also popular with visitors who come to just relax. Consider Headlands Beach — Ohio’s longest public swimming beach. The Mentor Lagoons Nature Preserve and the adjoining Mentor Marsh State Nature Preserve boast more than 1,000 acres of trails, boardwalks and wildlife.  There’s also the James A. Garfield National Historic Site, home of our 20th U.S. President, and many, many shopping and dining opportunities.
