SCAM ALERT! A number of current scams are targeting residents applying for Village permits and other planning and zoning applications. These scams often involve scammers posing as members of Village commissions and boards, asking for money via phone or e-mail with suspicious links or wire transfers. Village staff will never request payment by any method except an approved and secure payment portal or an in-person transaction. Please report any suspicious requests to Village staff immediately!
