Subject: Planning & Zoning Scam

Greetings Neighbors, 

Please be vigilant of an ongoing email scam relating to Bernalillo County zoning applications. This scam operation is falsely directing residents to wire transfer money for land use application renewal payments, an ask that would never be directed to residents by any County entity. If you receive an email of this nature, please do not click on any links or interact with the senders. 

More information about this scam can be found in the attached communication and in a recent BernCo news release:  https://www.bernco.gov/blog/2025/03/03/county-warns-of-ongoing-scam-targeting-residents-who-have-zoning-requests/

If any suspicion is raised in regard to the legitimacy of any County document or communication, please call 505-468-7777 to verify. 

Please share this message with your respective members and contacts. 

Thank you, 

Megan Holcomb

Neighborhood Coordinator
