Help us help you!

When your neighborhood is the focus of the City of Bartow’s Capital City Clean-Up (see map for timetable), please assess your property and make plans to participate in this clean-up effort.  Check out the information below for ways in which the City will assist in bringing your property into compliance – or just aid in sprucing up your home.
