Orland Park follows Illinois Vehicle Code (625 ILCS 5/4-201) for abandoned vehicles. A vehicle on public property over 7 days, or in a state of disrepair on private property, may be tagged, ticketed, and towed at owner expense.
Under Illinois law and Orland Park village code, a vehicle is considered abandoned if left unattended on a public street for more than 7 days, or on private property without permission. Vehicles may also be classified as abandoned if they are inoperable, lack current registration, have flat tires, missing parts, or are otherwise unfit for the road. Code Enforcement officers tag suspected abandoned vehicles, providing the owner notice (typically 72 hours to 7 days) to move or repair the vehicle. Vehicles not addressed within the notice period are towed to a licensed impound and may be sold to satisfy fees if not redeemed. Vehicles stored on private property must be screened, operable, or in an enclosed garage. Contact Orland Park Police at (708) 349-4111 to report abandoned vehicles.
Abandoned vehicle violations carry fines of $100 to $500. Tow and storage fees typically run $200-$500 plus daily storage charges. Property maintenance violations for inoperable vehicles can be $50-$200 daily until cured.
