Fulshear vs Missouri City

Can I keep an old project car in my Fulshear driveway?

Only if it has current license plates and a valid inspection sticker, or is fully enclosed inside a garage. Otherwise it can be cited as a junk motor vehicle subject to abatement.

What does the certified mail notice include?

The notice identifies the vehicle, cites the code violation, explains the steps required to come into compliance, and warns that the city may remove the vehicle if the owner fails to act.

Are lien holders really contacted too?

Yes. Fulshear's enforcement process notifies both the registered owner and any known lien holders by certified mail before the city abates the nuisance.

When can my car be towed as abandoned?

If your vehicle sits unattended on a public roadway for 48 hours or more, Missouri City can have it towed at your expense as an abandoned vehicle.

What makes a vehicle junked under Missouri City code?

A vehicle is junked if it has been inoperable for more than 72 hours, lacks current registration or inspection, and is visible from a public place or right-of-way.

Can I keep an inoperable car on my driveway?

Only if it is fully screened from public view or repaired and re-registered. Otherwise it qualifies as a junked vehicle subject to enforcement and removal.
