Frequently Asked Questions
Why remove graffiti quickly?
The sooner graffiti is removed from an area the less likely it is to recur. This works best when all the graffiti has been removed from a targeted area.
If I leave the graffiti on my wall won't the vandals be satisfied and leave it alone?
Evidence shows graffiti attracts more graffiti, and if it's not put on your wall or fence, it may be on adjoining properties.
What will it cost me to have graffiti removed from my property?
There is no cost to owners of private residences or commercial properties for removal of graffiti vandalism.
The City does not remove graffiti from cars, trucks, boats etc, or graffiti that is not visible from the street.
What about graffiti on other structures such as road signs and power poles?
The City does not remove graffiti from state government assets such as these. Any graffiti on state government property can be reported to the City via the hotline or email and the City will notify the correct agency.
