Pearland uses its 72-hour street parking ordinance and Texas junked vehicle nuisance law to remove abandoned vehicles from streets and address inoperable vehicles on private property.
Pearland Code Section 29-18 makes it unlawful for any vehicle to remain on a public street, alley, or way for more than 72 continuous hours, which is the city's primary tool for tagging and towing abandoned vehicles. Texas Transportation Code Chapter 683 declares junked vehicles a public nuisance and authorizes Pearland to provide notice, hold a hearing, and abate inoperable, wrecked, or partially dismantled vehicles visible from a public place or other private property. Code Enforcement investigates complaints reported through Connect2Pearland and works with Pearland Police to coordinate towing and disposal under state procedures.
Leaving an abandoned vehicle on a city street, storing a junked or inoperable vehicle visible from public view, or ignoring an abatement notice can result in citations, towing, and disposal of the vehicle.
