Sacramento County Code Enforcement removes vehicles that are abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, inoperative, or unregistered (more than 6 months expired) under SCC §10.24 and California Vehicle Code §22660-22669. Report at 311 or 916-875-4311.
Sacramento County's Vehicle Abatement Program enforces SCC §10.24 and California Vehicle Code §22660 against abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or inoperative vehicles on both private and public property. Vehicles registered more than 6 months expired count as abandoned. The County issues a 10-day notice of intent to abate. After the notice period, the vehicle is towed. Vehicles stored on private property must be inside an enclosed structure (garage) or behind an opaque 6-foot fence to avoid abatement.
Vehicle abatement is performed at the registered owner's expense (tow, storage, administrative costs typically $400-$1,200). Maintaining an abandoned vehicle on private property is a public nuisance under SCC §16.18 with administrative penalties $100/$200/$500 escalating.
