Pinellas Park prohibits storing junked, wrecked, or inoperable vehicles on private property and abandoning vehicles on public streets, with enforcement through Code Compliance and Chapter 9 of the Code of Ordinances.
Pinellas Park's Code Compliance program treats inoperable, unregistered, untagged, or wrecked vehicles stored on residential property as a public nuisance. Such vehicles must generally be enclosed inside a garage or removed from the property. On public streets, abandoned vehicles are addressed under Chapter 9 (Traffic), which incorporates Florida's abandoned vehicle laws. Vehicles left for extended periods on a public right-of-way may be tagged, towed, and processed under Florida Statutes Chapter 715. Owners receive a notice and an opportunity to cure before towing or disposal occurs.
Notice of violation, daily fines through the Special Magistrate, towing at the owner's expense, and possible lien on the property.
