Graffiti Removal Requests

The City of Orange Public Works Department removes graffiti and tagging from public property (including parks, bus shelters, street signs, sidewalks, etc.) or property adjacent to public rights-of-way. Community members can help by immediately reporting graffiti and tagging to the City of Orange. 

Please call 714-744-7279 and leave your name, phone number, and a detailed description of the location of the graffiti. The graffiti removal staff strives to respond and remove graffiti within 48 hours, depending upon call volume.

If you would prefer to report graffiti or tagging via e-mail, please send an e-mail to graffiti@cityoforange.org. Please include the following information:

1. The address where the graffiti is located - For example, "123 N. Main St." or "At the intersection of La Veta and Cambridge."
2. The location of the graffiti (be as detailed as possible) - Such as, "On the south-west block wall," or "On the stop sign facing east."
3. Your phone number - This information is needed in case the graffiti removal staff needs more information.
