On the Clock: City of Arlington's Graffiti Cleanup Crew

Code Compliance seeks to enhance and preserve neighborhoods, helping residents, business owners and visitors to Arlington feel safe anywhere, all the time. Graffiti creates blight upon neighborhoods, and it is only through the cooperative effort of the community that graffiti and its negative effects can be controlled. The Graffiti Abatement Team is working to make neighborhoods safe, strong and attractive.

Prompt removal of graffiti helps deter tagging. Property owners reporting graffiti with a signed consent form/waiver on file will receive free graffiti abatement. Property owners are encouraged to sign a consent form/waiver to allow the city to remove or paint over graffiti tags that occur on their property, free of charge.

Property owners choosing not to sign the waiver must remove or cover the graffiti within 15 days of receiving a notice of violation. Failure to cover up or remove the graffiti may result in citations or the city performing the abatement and billing the property owner.
