Eagle Mountain, UT Parking Rules: Abandoned Vehicles (2026)

030(B)(1) folds abandoned and junked vehicles into the city's broader junk ordinance: "junk" includes any motor vehicle that is not currently registered and is dismantled, wrecked or inoperable, or motor vehicles or parts of vehicles, once they've sat outside an enclosed building for more than 60 days. That 60-day clock runs regardless of whether the vehicle is on a driveway, side yard or elsewhere on the property, and once it expires the vehicle is a code violation just like a pile of scrap metal or trash.

030(B)(2): a single one-ton-or-smaller truck or an inoperable automobile can be stored in a side yard, so long as that side yard doesn't face a street, or a rear yard, for up to two years, but only if it meets a specific checklist, its windows are closed, its trunk and hood are closed, its doors are locked, it isn't damaged or showing jagged metal, and it's fully covered with a secure cover that reaches down to the vehicle's lowest point. A vehicle that doesn't meet every part of that checklist, or that sits in a front yard or a street-facing side yard, gets no extra time and is junk under the 60-day rule as soon as that clock runs out.

Because Eagle Mountain is filling in fast with new construction, half-finished driveways and work trucks parked beside unfinished homes are common triggers for this section.
