Removal of tags and graffiti

The City proposes free of charge to its inhabitants a service of removal of graffiti on facades. The conditions are mentioned in the regulation concerning the removal of tags and graffiti (PDF, 0,02MB).

To indicate a graffiti, one can call the free number of the City: 0800 901 07.

The City makes a commitment to intervene as fast as possible after this demand of removal of graffiti. However, the city needs a written authorization on behalf of the owner.

For the demand (PDF, 0,07MB), the owner has the choice between:

• A specific demand for a unique intervention. The following interventions will require a new discharge and these will automatically be charged or
• A permanent demand which allows henceforth in the service of the Public cleansing to intervene as quickly as possible and every time a new graffiti appears on the good of this owner. The interventions remain free if the owner puts, at his expenses, a device of anti-graffiti protection or if the building is classified.

It is possible for the owner to supply his written authorization and to ask for the removal of tags and graffiti via electronic forms.
