Churchill County officials are alerting residents to a scam involving fraudulent requests for additional permit fees through the Public Works, Planning, and Building Department.
According to the county, some applicants have received communications instructing them to pay extra money by wiring funds to a different address or by emailing for further payment instructions. Officials emphasize that these requests are not legitimate and should be reported to law enforcement.
The county reminds residents that all authorized payments are accepted only in person at the county office, 270 S. Maine St., Suite A, Fallon, or through the same online portal used for the application. The county will never request payment through alternate methods or by email.
Any official county email will end with “@churchillcountynv.gov.” Residents who receive suspicious messages or have questions are urged to contact Public Works, Planning, and Building at (775) 423-7627 during regular business hours.
