Summary
Unincorporated Greene County bars parking, storing, or displaying car hulks and junk vehicles for more than 30 days outside designated zoning areas; Springfield, Republic, Willard, Strafford, and Ash Grove enforce their own separate municipal codes instead.
It shall be considered unlawful to place, assemble, park, store, or display car hulks, junk vehicles, or any other form of immobilized contrivance in a stationary position for more than thirty (30) days on any property other than those areas so designated by proper zoning. One such vehicle may be repaired or serviced outside of an enclosed building if work is completed within thirty (30) days by the owner, tenant, or occupant of the property and the vehicle is titled to an owner, tenant, or occupant of the property.
