If your home or business was vandalized last night, the Cortez Police Department encourages you to call 970-565-8441 to check whether your property is already included in police report #26000795. If you would like to apply for Graffiti Clean Up assistance and your property is not listed, you will need to file a police report so it can be added. This applies to both residential and commercial properties.

The City of Cortez offers Graffiti Clean Up assistance to help property owners restore damaged surfaces. The program provides reimbursement for 50 percent of cleanup costs up to $500.00.
