Yavapai County, AZ Parking Rules: Abandoned Vehicles (2026)

1 defines the disabled/inoperable category by exclusion: any vehicle on a residential-zoned parcel that isn't complete, operable and currently licensed and arranged in an orderly fashion is deemed disabled or inoperable, and any vehicle meeting the ordinance's definition of a junk vehicle falls in the same bucket. The county caps that combined category at two vehicles per parcel, regardless of how many operable personal vehicles the household also keeps outside, which carry no numeric limit under the same subsection. Placement is restricted twice over: the vehicles must be located in the side or rear yard, never within the required front-yard setback, and they must be screened so they aren't visible from any public or private street right-of-way or from an adjacent property.

C (Landscaping) supplies the qualifying materials, such as a solid fence, wall, or dense live plant screen, that satisfy this visibility test. A property owner who wants to sell an operable personal vehicle out of the same yard is governed by a different, narrower allowance: no more than two personally owned vehicles may be offered for person-to-person sale at any one time, a cap that runs separately from the two-vehicle junk allowance.
