Lynn tows vehicles left unattended on a public street for more than 72 hours, or that are unregistered, uninspected, not roadworthy, or a hazard. Private property may hold only one unregistered vehicle.
The Lynn Parking Department requires every vehicle on a public street to be registered, properly plated, and displaying a valid inspection sticker. A vehicle left unattended on a street for more than 72 hours, or one that is unregistered, not roadworthy, or a fire or safety hazard, is ticketed and towed. On private property, the zoning ordinance allows only one unregistered, uninsured, or inoperable vehicle, and none stored in a front yard. Towed vehicles go to the city lot; owners must show proof of ownership and clear all fees and fines to reclaim them.
Towing runs $195 plus $35 per day storage, set by the state, on top of any outstanding tickets. Reclaiming a vehicle requires proof of ownership and payment by cash, bank check, or money order.
