Layton, UT Parking Rules: Abandoned Vehicles (2026)

170 defines "deleterious objects or structures" to include junk, debris, obsolete machinery and equipment, and specifically "old and obsolete vehicles, part of automobiles, or automobiles, with parts taken from them and not in running condition," plus automobiles whose registration and license plates have been expired for four months or longer. All property in Layton must be kept free of such vehicles except where Title 19, the zoning ordinance, specifically allows outdoor vehicle storage. 110. 175 carves out a narrow exception: a homeowner in a residential zone may obtain a Vehicle Restoration Permit, valid up to eighteen months, to keep one vehicle outside an enclosed building while actively restoring it, provided it sits on a hard surface in the side or rear yard, stays covered by a tarp except while being worked on, and no stripped parts are stored in the yard outside the vehicle itself.

No restoration permit is available for vacant land or commercial or industrial zoned parcels, and an unfinished vehicle must be removed once the eighteen-month period expires.
