Reporting Tagging & Graffiti
Reporting Graffiti in Progress
If you witness vandalism or tagging in progress, call 858-565-5200 and report it immediately to the Sheriff’s Department. Do not confront the vandals. Although they may appear to be harmless, they may be carrying weapons. A Deputy will respond based on the priority of the crime compared to others for which they have calls at the time.

Private Property
As a community, we should work with each other to clean / cover graffiti on private residences instead of reporting to County Code Compliance as fines are pretty steep and some residents may not have the resources or means to correct the issue. Report to Code Compliance as a last resort.
