Graffiti on Buildings a Nuisance

As of October 1, 2010, Hickory, NC has passed a new regulation where graffiti will be considered a nuisance on your building.

Through September 15, 2010, the City of Hickory developed a graffiti removal grant program to help property owners clean up any graffiti. The Hickory City Council set aside $25,000 for the grant and would reimburse property owners up to 50 percent, not to exceed $1,000, to remove graffiti.

As of October 1, 2010, failure to remove the graffiti in a certain time frame will cause the City to remove the graffiti at the owner's expense, which may include placing a lien on the property.
