🚨 Scam Alert: Permit Fee Emails 🚨
The Town of Abington is warning residents and contractors about fraudulent emails requesting immediate payment for permit fees.
These messages may look official and include your address or a case number but they are scams.
Important reminders from our Building Department:
- Zoning and Conservation fees are paid upfront
- Building permit fees are assigned after intake review
- Fee notifications come only through our official system, OpenGov permitting software
- We never request payment via wire transfer, Venmo, Zelle, or cryptocurrency
If you receive a suspicious email:
- ❗ Do not pay
- ✔️ Call us to verify
- ✔️ You can always pay in person by cash or check
When in doubt, contact Town Hall directly.
