Bucks County follows PA Vehicle Code 75 Pa.C.S. §7303 for abandoned vehicles. Vehicles left on public roads 48 hours or inoperable vehicles visible on private property may be tagged, towed, and disposed of after notice.
Under 75 Pa.C.S. §102 and §7303, an abandoned vehicle is one left on a highway more than 48 hours or left on private property without the owner's permission. Bucks County police and township code enforcement tag suspected abandoned vehicles, with owner notice mailed to the registered address via certified mail. After 15 days without response, vehicles may be towed to an authorized storage facility. On private property, most townships require inoperable vehicles (flat tires, expired registration, missing parts, not running) to be stored inside a garage or fully screened from public view. Active mechanical restoration may qualify for a temporary exemption with a signed declaration filed with the zoning officer. Junked vehicles on property for over 30 days without valid registration or inspection typically trigger citations.
Tagging on public road: 48-hour removal notice. Post-tow storage: $25 to $50 per day at owner expense plus $150 to $500 tow fee. Inoperable vehicle on private property: zoning citation $100 to $600 per offense plus abatement cost if municipality removes.
