Graffiti Removal

Prevention

Graffiti cannot always be prevented, but property owners and residents can reduce the incidence of graffiti on building exteriors and walls by having good lighting and uncomfortable vegetation in place.

Work with your neighbors, your neighborhood association or home owners’ association to be the eyes and ears for your community.

Enforcement

Putting graffiti on public or private property is against the law. If you see someone in the act of “tagging,” call 911. If the graffiti is already in place, call 792-CITY (792-2489) to report it. Graffiti left in place tends to attract more graffiti.

Removal

If you are a property owner or resident, you can try washing off graffiti or painting it over yourself. If you don’t have access to paint, or the surface is a block or brick wall and you need assistance, call 792-CITY (792-2489) to report it.

As of November 10, 2008, the City of Tucson will no longer remove:
