The City of Temple City takes great pride in the appearance of our
neighborhoods. Therefore, when unsightly graffiti threatens
the aesthetics of our city, we do our best to remove the graffiti in
a most expeditious manner. However, the City cannot combat the
problem of graffiti alone. We need the help of our community!
To report graffiti for removal you may call the Public Services
Department at (626) 285-2171 or you may call our 24-hour graffiti
hotline at (626) 287-5771.
Graffiti on sidewalks, street signs and city property are removed by
the City's Maintenance Division. Graffiti on private property
is removed by a graffiti removal company contracted by the City.
Prior to having graffiti removed from private property, the City
must have written authorization from the property owner to remove
the graffiti. Once written authorization is obtained, it
remains on file for future removal. Once reported, graffiti is
usually removed within 3 - 5 business days.
If you observe a crime in progress, please immediately call the
Sheriff's Department by dialing 9-1-1. If you believe that the
situation is not an emergency or does not require an immediate
response, please call the regular business line at (626) 285-7171.
Signed authorization forms may be returned to the Public Services
Department located at Civic Center, 5938
Kauffman Avenue. Business hours are Monday - Thursday 8 a.m.
to 6 p.m. and Fridays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please contact the
Public Services Department if you have any
questions or concerns regarding graffiti removal.
