New Jersey state law governs abandoned vehicles. A vehicle left in the same public location for at least three consecutive days may be deemed abandoned. Report abandoned vehicles to your local police; removal follows N.J.S.A. 39:10A and 39:4-56.6.
Abandoned vehicles are handled under statewide New Jersey law, not a Morris County ordinance. Per the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission, a vehicle is considered abandoned if it has been in the same public location for at least three consecutive days. Vehicles on public property are removed under N.J.S.A. 39:10A-1 et seq.; vehicles left on private property without the owner's consent fall under N.J.S.A. 39:4-56.6, which lets the property owner arrange removal. Report abandoned vehicles to your municipal police department, which coordinates towing and any lien sale.
Abandoning a vehicle is unlawful under Title 39; the vehicle is towed, and owners may owe towing, storage, and administrative costs, with sale for unpaid charges.
