Abandoned Vehicles: Corona vs Mead Valley

Corona enforces California Vehicle Code §22669 and local provisions to remove abandoned, wrecked, or inoperable vehicles from public streets and private property. Vehicles parked over 72 hours, missing license plates, with flat tires, or otherwise inoperable can be tagged for removal and towed at the owner's expense.

Riverside County uses California Vehicle Code §22669-22671 and Abandoned Vehicle Abatement (AVA) program funding to remove abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or inoperable vehicles from public and private property. On private residential property, vehicles without current registration visible from the street are a violation of Ordinance 348 Section 19.1 and can be abated through Code Enforcement.
