A vehicle that has been unregistered for more than six months OR has not moved for more than 72 hours OR is wrecked/dismantled qualifies as a nuisance. After notice the owner has typically 10 days to abate; if not, the County tows and bills the owner. Vehicles fully enclosed in a garage or shop are exempt.

Administrative penalty under SCC Title 1 plus tow and storage fees. Repeat violations may be referred for nuisance abatement under SCC Title 16.
