Plymouth, MN Parking Rules: Abandoned Vehicles (2026)

05 bans parking, keeping, storing, or abandoning any Junk Vehicle on a public street, highway, roadway, or alley in the City of Plymouth outright, with no grace period. On private property, whether the person in charge is the owner, tenant, occupant, or lessee, a Junk Vehicle cannot remain longer than 96 hours; anyone who leaves one there past that window violates the Section regardless of who controls the property. The prohibition carves out three exceptions: a vehicle inside an enclosed building, a vehicle on a lawfully operated business's premises when necessary to that business, and a vehicle in a storage depository the City or its agents lawfully maintain.

07, the Director of Public Safety may remove or have removed any vehicle that appears to violate this Section, or that is lost, stolen, or unclaimed, and impound it under the same procedures the City uses for other impounded vehicles. 10, the state's unclaimed and abandoned motor vehicle law, by reference into the City Code, so that violating the state's procedures for reporting, holding, and disposing of unclaimed vehicles is also a violation of the Plymouth City Code. 13.
