McKinney defines abandoned vehicles as those left on public property over 48 hours or inoperable vehicles in public view over 72 hours. Enforcement follows Texas Transportation Code Chapter 683. Vehicles are tagged, then towed if not removed within the notice period.
Section 106-194 governs abandoned vehicles consistent with TX Transp Code 683.012. Inoperable vehicles with flat tires, expired registration over 60 days, or missing major parts are presumed junked. Storage on private property in public view without cover or screening violates the junked vehicle ordinance. Owners have 10 days after notice to remove or request hearing.
Tow and impound at owner expense (150-300 dollars tow plus daily storage). Junked vehicle citation up to 200 dollars per day.
