Replace city's graffiti law with updated rules for property owners
In Plain English
Richmond's current graffiti law is outdated and unclear about enforcement. The new law clarifies that property owners must remove graffiti from their buildings within a set timeframe. If approved, the city gains stronger tools to require cleanup of tagged walls and fences throughout Richmond.
