Upon determining that graffiti exists on any private or other non-Town owned property and that such graffiti can be viewed from a public place within the Town, the Chief of Police, or their designee, shall mail or deliver a notice to the owner of the property on which the graffiti exists advising the owner that the graffiti must be removed within three business days.

In the case of graffiti on private property, the property owner shall, within three business days of delivery of the notice, either remove the graffiti or submit a written request to the Director of Public Works along with a release requesting the Town to enter the property and assist in removing the graffiti.

Upon receipt of the property owner’s written request and release, the Director of Public Works, or the Director’s designee, shall determine whether the Town can effectively assist in removal of the graffiti and if so, what procedures it can employ to facilitate such removal. If the Town assists in the removal of such graffiti, the Town shall charge the property owner a fee in the amount of the actual cost of removal.

Failure to remove the graffiti or make such request within three business days shall subject such owner to the provisions of G. L. c. 40, s. 21D and Article 2 of Title IX Enforcement and Fees of these bylaws with a fine of fifty dollars ($50.00) per day each and every day to be considered a separate offense. Any fee charged by the Town for the cost of graffiti removal under this section remaining unpaid after sixty days of notice of such charge shall be subject to the provisions of G.L. c. 40, s. 58.
