§ 14-6.802. Findings.
This article and chapter provide for the removal of graffiti from public and private property and the board finds that graffiti is detrimental to property values and degrades the unincorporated area. Graffiti is inconsistent with the county's goals for property maintenance and maintenance of the county's development standards; is obnoxious, a public nuisance, and unless it is quickly removed from public and private property, results in other properties becoming the target of graffiti, thereby diminishing their value and reducing the ability of the county to meet the health, safety and welfare needs of its citizens.
