New Jersey law, not a Camden County ordinance, makes it illegal to abandon a vehicle. A car left more than 48 hours on public property, or any time without current plates, is presumed abandoned and may be towed.
Abandoned-vehicle rules in Camden County come from state statute N.J.S.A. 39:4-56.5. It is unlawful to abandon a motor vehicle on any highway or public property, or on private property without the owner's consent. A vehicle left more than 48 hours, or any period without current license plates, is presumed abandoned. Enforcement is by local or county police, who arrange towing; in the City of Camden, report abandoned vehicles to Police Communications. On county park land, the county may tow vehicles parked in violation of posted restrictions.
Under N.J.S.A. 39:4-56.5, a first offense draws a fine of $100 to $500; subsequent offenses run $500 to $1,000, plus towing and storage costs.
