Sacramento County has been made aware of a fraudulent email scheme targeting both current and former Planning customers. The scam involves sending fake invoices using the names of County Officials and the official Sacramento County logo, instructing recipients to wire money.
Planning & Environmental Review is committed to making the unincorporated area the best place to build. Planning staff are available to help with your ideas, ranging from extending a fence to building new shopping center.
If you already have an open, paid Planning permit case with an assigned control number (PLNP, DRCP, PLNR), visit our directory to contact your assigned planner. If you are unsure of who your assigned planner is, please email SacPlan@saccounty.gov.
