Neighborhood Services is responsible for nearly eliminating graffiti in Glendale through the following strategy:
  • When offered for sale, graffiti implements including spray paint, wide-tip markers, paint sticks and glass etchers are required to be kept behind a locked cabinet.
  • City staff will remove graffiti from public property as quickly as possible when it is reported.
  • City staff will routinely survey public property to note and remove graffiti that is not reported by residents.
  • The City will aggressively investigate, apprehend and prosecute any person involved in graffiti vandalism.
  • Police Department and Neighborhood Services personnel will share information on the identity of taggers and graffiti vandals.
  • Property owners are required to keep their property free from graffiti. Graffiti must be removed promptly. Property owners may arrange for City staff to remove graffiti from private property for a small fee to cover the material cost of the removal. Our fees are as follows:
