The Downtown Development District (DDD), alongside the Clean Team contractor Block by Block, has implemented the "Private Property Graffiti Removal Program". This program will offer private property owners a 50% reimbursement up to a maximum of $2,500 per structure to offset the expense of graffiti removal from their property. This will also include repainting costs. In order to participate in the program, you must fill out the Private Property Graffiti Removal Agreement. To expedite the application process, the DDD explains that you must complete several steps: The form must be fully completed, a "before" photograph of the graffiti must be attached, a minimum of two quotes/bids must be submitted, and a W-9 must be submitted.
Once all the information is processed by the DDD, the applicant will receive an approval and notification to proceed. The work may then proceed with the approved bidder, and should be completed within 30 days from the notice to proceed. Once the work is completed, an "after" photograph, the final paid invoice, and a copy of the canceled check must be submitted. The DDD will send a notification that the paperwork has been received and is complete. They will inform the stakeholder that a check in the amount of 50% of the total cost, will be issued within 15 days of receipt of all the required information. If the paperwork is not complete, the DDD will notify the applicant of the specific deficiencies and set a deadline for submission of missing items.
