Fraud Alert — Payment and Email Verification
We recently identified fraudulent emails and invoices requesting wire transfers. These messages did not originate from the City of Culver City.
Please do not follow payment instructions or links in suspicious emails – our payment emails will come from the @culvercity.org or @culvercity.gov domains
We do NOT accept wire transfers for any permit payments. If you receive an email requesting payment by wire, do not respond to it and do not send payment.
To confirm whether a payment request is legitimate, please contact the Current Planning Division at (310) 253-5725 and provide the permit number and property address.
If you would like to make a payment in person, please visit us at 9770 Culver Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232. Our hours are Monday to Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. We are closed every other Friday (we will be open on June 19). We accept online payments only through our secure payment link (credit card or e-check).
If you believe you have received a fraudulent invoice, please contact us immediately at Accounts.Receivable@culvercity.org or (310) 253-5890. Thank you.
