§ 47-2. Findings and purpose.  


Latest version.
  • The county finds and declares that:

    Graffiti is proliferating on permanent structures throughout the County of Santa Barbara. Said graffiti is detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the community in that it fosters disrespect for the law, results in increased crime and damages property.

    The use of county funds to promptly remove graffiti from private property in the unincorporated areas of the county is necessary to reduce the detrimental impact of graffiti and to prevent the further spread of graffiti.
