Watch Out for Scam Tactics
The County is aware of fake invoices being sent via email to permit applicants with an attachment purporting to be an invoice requesting immediate payment through a wire transfer. This is a scam.
The Community and Economic Development Department (CEDD) only asks for and accepts payment through the ePermit Center. A legitimate email message from CEDD will be from a County email address (@adcogov.org or @adamscountyco.gov). Examine emails with links and attachments very closely before clicking on them.
If you have any questions about a payment due, please don’t hesitate to contact the One Stop Permitting Center telephone number: 720.523.6800.
