Encampment Removal

The City of Tacoma inspects and removes unauthorized encampments on a routine basis based on complaints received and the conditions of the encampment.

 

Encampment removal is performed after notice and outreach.  In accordance with the City of Tacoma Storage Policy, below is information about specific removals including dates, location and whether items were stored.

If items were stored, they will be kept at 1423 Puyallup Avenue (unless the owner of the items is otherwise notified) and an appointment to access items may be made by calling 3-1-1 and indicating that you wish to retrieve stored items.
