Temple Terrace classifies any vehicle left unmoved for 72 hours, lacking current registration, or visibly inoperable as abandoned. Code enforcement tags the vehicle, and if not removed within 10 days, the city tows it under FL Statute §715.05.
Temple Terrace Code Compliance follows FL §715.05 for abandoned vehicles on private and public property. Indicators include flat tires, missing parts, expired or absent license plate, and accumulated debris under or on the vehicle. A notice is affixed to the windshield and mailed to the registered owner. The owner has 10 days to remove or correct the violation. After that period, the vehicle is towed by the contracted wrecker and the owner must pay tow, storage, and administrative fees to reclaim. Vehicles unclaimed for 35 days are auctioned or scrapped.
Abandoned vehicle tow costs average $185 plus $25 per day storage and $75 administrative fee. Property owners allowing abandoned vehicles on their lot face $150 per day code-compliance lien.
