The City's Public Works Department oversees the graffiti abatement contractor, Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc. (GPC). Our objective is to maintain an aesthetically pleasing environment and to beautify the City through the prompt removal of graffiti that can be seen from the public right-of-way and to deter further graffiti vandalism. Experience has shown that removing graffiti as soon as it is reported is the best prevention against future graffiti. The vandals lose the ability to show off their work when the graffiti is removed in a timely manner.

The City Council has adopted a Graffiti Abatement Program that allows unlimited graffiti removal requests for residential properties. As a homeowner and resident of the City, you can access our 24-hour Graffiti Hotline to report the vandalism. Our City's Graffiti Abatement Contractor will respond to the location and remove the graffiti within 24 hours.

For commercial properties, the City Council has authorized three (3) free graffiti removals. The property owners (commercial properties only) will be responsible for the expenses after three abatement requests.
