Under Fla. Stat. 705.103, abandoned and derelict vehicles on public or private property can be taken into custody and removed after notice. Indian River County code separately bars storing inoperable, unlicensed, or junk vehicles in open view.
Florida law, Fla. Stat. 705.103, lets law enforcement take custody of lost or abandoned property, including derelict vehicles, and remove it, with a notice period before a declared derelict or nuisance vehicle is disposed of. Indian River County enforces this alongside its own code, which bars keeping a wrecked, junked, or inoperable vehicle in open view on residential property. A vehicle generally counts as inoperable if it lacks a current license tag, has flat tires, or cannot be driven, and such vehicles must be kept inside a garage or carport or screened from view. Inoperable and abandoned vehicles rank among the county's most common code complaints.
Illegal storage brings county code enforcement with a cure period and daily fines under Florida's code-enforcement law, plus towing and impound of an abandoned vehicle at the owner's expense.
