The city processes permit fee payments only through its Community Core permit system and will never request credit card or banking information by email or phone, officials said.

Residents should check that emails claiming to come from the city use an "@SanMarinoCA.gov" address.

Anyone who receives a suspicious email or phone call should contact City Hall at 626-300-0700 to verify the request's legitimacy before providing information or making a payment.
