Graffiti on State and Federal property

Graffiti on State and Federal property

In cases where graffiti is located on State or Federal property, we will try our best to get the request to the appropriate State or Federal agency, and then we will close your request. We can't guarantee that they will receive or handle the request, so we recommend that you contact them directly with the request yourself. 

If you are unsure of whose jurisdiction the property falls under, submit the report to us at 311 and we will look at your report to determine.
