Painting Your Address on the Curb

Ever been approached by an individual or company wanting to be paid for painting your address on the curb in front of your home? Perhaps you've found a flier on your porch advising you that such-and-such company will be painting your curb the following day.

Here's a tip: You do not have to pay.

The City does not contract with individuals or companies to paint addresses on curbs.

The City only issues permits to paint curbs to legitimate nonprofit organizations that do the work as a fund-raiser, and then ask residents for donations. It's the resident's choice whether to donate or not.

So, the next time someone comes to you and wants to be paid for painting your curb, ask to see their city permit. If the would-be painter cannot produce one, call the Fullerton Police Department: You may be saving your neighbor's an unnecessary expense.
