Abandoned vehicles are governed by Idaho Code Title 49, Chapter 18. Abandonment on any highway or on public/private property without consent is prohibited (IC 49-1801). A property owner may have an unauthorized vehicle removed if the property is posted with a conspicuous towing notice (IC 49-1806).
Idaho Code 49-1801 prohibits abandoning a vehicle on any highway or on public/private property without consent. Under Idaho Code 49-1806, a person controlling real property (including commercial property) may have an unauthorized vehicle removed or booted if a clearly conspicuous sign in large print states unauthorized vehicles will be removed at the owner's expense and names the towing firm; on non-commercial property, an owner may contact a tow company even without posting. Notably, expired or improper registration alone does not make a vehicle unauthorized. In Ada County, report abandoned vehicles on public roads to the Ada County Sheriff.
Vehicles abandoned or left unauthorized may be towed, booted, and impounded at the owner's expense under Idaho Code 49-1806; abandonment itself is prohibited under 49-1801.
