Utility Bills – We are encouraging all residents to utilize the drive thru and drop box for payments of their utilities instead of coming inside the Customer Service Center. There is also the option to pay online, for the full list of options and instructions please visit the City’s website: https://www.cityoflynnhaven.com/. Additionally, if you have elderly neighbors or family members who normally pay their bills in person, please be proactive in offering to deliver their payments to the drop box. #choosekindness

Please utilize these documents and email completed documents to buildingdepartment@cityoflynnhaven.com. The department will be in touch with you when they are received. Contractors can also send in plans by email. If a contractor must drop off plans, a drop box has provided at the front door of the Customer Service Center to submit these plans and you will be notified by email or phone if anything additional is needed to process these plans.
Update on services – All services; Fire, PD, sanitation, water, utility work on roads, construction on city facilities, etc. will continue as scheduled.
