Utah Code 41-6a-1406 authorizes a peace officer to remove and impound vehicles at the owner's expense, including abandoned vehicles under 41-6a-1408, and Orem City Code Chapter 19, Article 4 declares vehicles constituting nuisances subject to City impound.
Removal of abandoned and nuisance vehicles in Orem is driven by Utah state law and the City's impound article. Utah Code 41-6a-1406 lets a peace officer order the removal or impoundment of a vehicle as provided under several statutes (including 41-6a-1408 for abandoned vehicles), with removal at the owner's expense by a qualified tow-truck motor carrier; the officer may also remove a vehicle reported stolen, where the responsible person cannot arrange custody, or where the operator is arrested. Utah Code 41-6a-1408 sets the 48-hour highway abandonment threshold and authorizes removal of abandoned vehicles. At the City level, Orem City Code Chapter 19, Article 4 (Impounding) addresses vehicles constituting nuisances (19-4-1), the notice procedure (19-4-2), and prerequisites to redemption (19-4-3). Together these provisions let the City and law enforcement tag, tow, and impound long-parked or abandoned vehicles and recover the cost from the owner.
An abandoned or nuisance vehicle may be towed and impounded at the owner's expense under Utah Code 41-6a-1406 and Orem City Code Article 19-4; the owner must satisfy redemption prerequisites (including fees) before the vehicle is released.
