Collier County Code Section 130-95 prohibits parking or storing inoperable or unlicensed vehicles anywhere in a Residential District except a fully enclosed building. For vehicles abandoned on public roads, Florida Statute 705.103 lets law enforcement tag and remove them at the owner's expense.
Under Collier County Code Section 130-95, vehicles or trailers that are not immediately operable, do not meet the Florida Safety Code, lack current valid license plates, or do not qualify as recreational vehicles may not be parked or stored in any Residential District, including the Estates district, other than in a completely enclosed building. For vehicles abandoned on public property or roadways, Florida Statute 705.103 governs removal: law enforcement posts notice, contacts the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles for the owner, and after the notice period may tow, retain, sell, or dispose of the vehicle and bill the owner. Florida litter law 403.413 also applies to dumped vehicle parts.
Junk-vehicle violations draw Code Enforcement notices, daily fines, and liens. For abandoned vehicles removed under FS 705.103, the owner is liable for all removal, storage, and disposal costs.
