Thank you for your request concerning graffiti on public property. Your request has been forwarded to the appropriate Public Works staff for graffiti removal. If the request refers to graffiti that is on private property, the request will be recategorized and you will hear from our Community Development Department very soon. Abating this graffiti is the private property owner’s responsibility.

Public Works receives more than 1,000 requests per year to abate graffiti on public property. Given the volume of requests, we strive to abate graffiti within two weeks but, depending on the volume and other factors (e.g., incoming storms), it can take up to 30 days.

You will receive further communication if your request will take longer than this time to complete. If you should have any further questions please feel free to contact us again and reference this issue number.
