Graffiti Removal

There is no cost for graffiti removal services. When a report is received, an officer attempts to identify the victim(s) and get a Graffiti Removal Waiver (Provided in the Supporting Documents at the bottom of this page) to either remove or repaint over the graffiti. If the property owner does not have paint or cannot afford to buy it, staff do their best to match colors and get paint through donations, or the department buys it directly from local suppliers.

Deschutes County Juvenile Community Justice views graffiti removal as one of its best examples of restorative community service for youth offenders. It offers youth active participation and an opportunity to help victims and their community in a meaningful and measurable way. The youth and our community can see immediate results of their service; a result that is both tangible and gratifying.

Deschutes County Juvenile Community Justice is committed to continuing our graffiti removal program and strongly encourages citizens to immediately report graffiti and other acts of vandalism to law enforcement.
