Under Maryland Transportation §25-201, a vehicle left inoperable or unregistered on public property, or on private property without consent, for more than 48 hours is abandoned and may be removed. Harford County also caps junk vehicles stored on private lots.
Maryland Transportation §25-201 defines an abandoned vehicle to include one that is inoperable and left unattended on public property for more than 48 hours, one that has remained illegally on public property for more than 48 hours, and one that has remained on private property for more than 48 hours without the owner's consent. Such vehicles can be taken and disposed of by the authorities.
An abandoned vehicle is towed and, if unclaimed, sold or scrapped, with the owner liable for towing and storage. A junk vehicle kept beyond county limits draws a code-enforcement abatement order and municipal-infraction fines.
