Warning: Permit Payment Scam
Some permit customers have received fake emails asking for payment.
Before paying, confirm the request through the City’s official permit portal or contact City staff using the phone number listed on the City website.
Do not click unfamiliar links, open unexpected attachments, or send payment to an unfamiliar account.
