Under Utah Code 41-6a-1408, a vehicle left unattended over 48 hours on a highway, or over seven days on public or private property without consent, is abandoned and can be removed by a peace officer. Layton also requires vehicles on private property to be licensed and operable.
Utah's statewide abandoned-vehicle law governs across Davis County. Utah Code 41-6a-1408 defines an abandoned vehicle as one left unattended on a highway (or state waters) more than 48 hours, or on public/private property more than seven days without the owner's consent, and authorizes removal by a peace officer with a report to the Motor Vehicle Division. Layton City Code 6.24.170-.175 additionally requires all vehicles on a property to be licensed and operable; inoperable or unlicensed vehicles must be removed or fully enclosed. Report abandoned vehicles to your city police or the Davis County Sheriff for unincorporated areas.
Abandoning a vehicle is an infraction; removal and impound are at the owner's expense, and cities may cite inoperable-vehicle nuisances separately.
