Utah Code §41-6a-1405 defines abandoned vehicles as those left on public property 48+ hours or on private property without consent. Provo Code §9.45.100 and Orem Code §10-5 authorize tagging and towing after notice.
Utah Code §41-6a-1405 through §41-6a-1409 set the statewide abandoned vehicle framework used by Utah County cities. A vehicle left on a public street more than 48 hours, or one that appears inoperable (flat tires, no plates, missing parts), can be tagged by Provo Parking Enforcement or Orem code officers. Provo Code §9.45.100 requires a 72-hour notice tag before towing; Orem Code §10-5-11 uses a similar process. On private property, Utah County Land Use Ordinance §3-3 requires inoperable or unregistered vehicles to be stored inside a garage or behind a solid 6-foot screen fence — junked vehicles visible from the public right-of-way are a code-enforceable nuisance under Utah Code §10-11-1 (municipal) and §17-50-313 (county). Vehicles under active repair with a valid Utah dealer/repairer plate are exempt. Towed vehicles are processed through Utah's impound system via UCC §41-1a-1101.
Notice period 48-72 hours. Towing at owner expense: $175-$300 plus $25-$50/day storage per Utah Motor Vehicle Impound Yard rules. Private-property nuisance fines in Provo: $50-$500 per day (Provo Code §9.12). Repeat violations may become Class B misdemeanors under UT §76-10-803.
