Short Answer: The City of God was written as a Christian response to the sack of Rome in 410, but Augustine died in 430, so the easiest (and surest) answer is to say that it was written sometime between 410 and 430.
Slightly Longer Answer: The City of God is a massive work written as 22 separate books, so it wasn't written all at once. (Penguin's paperback English translation, for example, is over 1000 pages of relatively small print.) There's no consensus, but most scholars believe that the first three books were written by 413, with books 4 through 13 being published between 414-418. The last nine books of Augustine's work may have been finished by as early as 422, but some would suggest that the entire work wasn't complete until 429, the year before Augustine's death.
