About the by-law

Graffiti is a drawing that is spray painted or handwritten on building walls or structures without the consent of the property owner.

The Anti-graffiti By-law 46-2009 (PDF) prohibits graffiti on public and private property and requires all properties to be kept free of graffiti.

No one must allow, cause or permit graffiti to be placed on any property.
The owner of a property must maintain the property (including walls and fences) and ensure it is free of graffiti.

A person, owner or corporation found in violation of this by-law will be issued a “Notice to Comply.”
A person who is convicted of an offence may be fined up to $20,000, and up to $50,000 for subsequent offences.
A corporation that is convicted of an offence may be fined up to $50,000, and up to $100,000 for subsequent offences.

Grafitti on City property may be reported online or call Access Vaughan at 905-832-2281.

For any graffiti or vandalism found on hydro boxes, contact Alectra Inc. To report mailbox graffiti or vandalism, contact Canada Post.
