Dublin Code Section 351.16 and ORC 4513.63 define abandoned vehicles as those left on public property for 48+ hours or private property for 72+ hours without permission. Dublin Police tag, tow, and process through Franklin County impound.
Vehicles without valid registration, unable to operate, or left on public streets for more than 72 hours can be tagged with a 48-hour removal notice. If not removed, vehicles are towed to an approved impound lot. Private property abandoned vehicles require the property owner to file a complaint. Inoperable vehicles in residential driveways or yards visible from the street violate Dublin Property Maintenance Code (Chapter 93) and must be enclosed in a garage or removed.
Tow and storage fees (typically 200-400 dollars plus 25-35 per day storage); unclaimed vehicles sold at auction after 30 days per ORC 4513.61.
