Graffiti consists of inscriptions, slogans, and drawings scratched, scribbled, or painted on a wall, or other public or private surface. Graffiti is not art; it is vandalism. It is prohibited when done without permission of the property owner.
Furthermore, in 2006, the City of Fernley adopted an ordinance specifically addressing penalties for persons convicted of graffiti vandalism, as well as a section requiring that property owners keep all walls, buildings, fences, signs, and other structures and surfaces visible from the public right of way free of graffiti.
