The City is aware of reports of scammers impersonating local planning, zoning, engineering and building departments in an attempt to obtain fraudulent payments from residents and businesses who have submitted applications to cities.
These emails may appear official and may include invoices or requests for payment related to permits, development projects, zoning applications, or business licensing. In some cases, the messages may contain publicly available information to appear legitimate.
If you receive a suspicious email claiming to be from the City regarding planning, zoning, permitting, or licensing, do not respond or submit payment until you have verified the request with City staff.
