Victorville uses CVC 22651(k) 72-hour rule and VMC Title 10 to abate abandoned vehicles. San Bernardino County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement (AVA) program removes inoperable vehicles from private property.
Abandoned vehicles on Victorville public streets are handled under California Vehicle Code 22651(k), which allows impoundment after 72 consecutive hours of non-movement. Victorville Police Parking Enforcement marks vehicles with warning notices and photographs tire positions; if the vehicle has not moved after 72 hours, it is towed and stored at the owner's expense. For abandoned or inoperable vehicles on private property, Victorville participates in the San Bernardino County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement (AVA) Program funded by a vehicle registration fee surcharge. Vehicles lacking current registration, missing key parts, or in disassembled condition on private property are considered nuisances under VMC Title 8 and can be abated. Property owners receive 10-day notice before removal. Licensed operable vehicles on private property with owner permission are exempt.
