Abandoned or Junk Vehicles |
|
An abandoned vehicle is a motor vehicle left on a public street in a no parking zone, left on a public street for more than seven days, left on Town owned property for greater than 24 hours or left on private property without the consent of the owner, occupant or lessee for longer than two hours. Vehicles may be removed without notice if they violate the Abandoned Vehicle Ordinance. A junked motor vehicle is a vehicle, parked on private property that does not display a current license plate and is wrecked or missing parts, or the engine does not work, has flat tires, and has a value of $100 or less. A resident may store one junk vehicle on his property if it is kept in the back yard and is entirely covered by a car cover, tarp, or in a garage. Vehicles violating this ordinance may be towed after proper notice is given to the property owner and/or the owner of the vehicle. Several non-profit organizations or junk yard establishments will take junk vehicles. |
