Abandoned vehicles in York County are handled under the state traffic code. Once a vehicle is towed and taken into custody, S.C. Code 56-5-5630 requires written notice to the owner and lienholders, who then have thirty days to reclaim it.
South Carolina's abandoned-vehicle process, S.C. Code 56-5-5630 et seq., applies in unincorporated York County. Once an abandoned vehicle is taken into custody, the towing and storage company must notify the last registered owner and all lienholders of record by registered or certified mail. The owner then has thirty days from the day after the notice is mailed to reclaim the vehicle by paying the towing, storage, and notice costs; unclaimed vehicles are sold to satisfy those charges. Separately, York County's nuisance ordinance targets junked and derelict vehicles left on private property, letting the county order cleanup. The York County Sheriff, a wrecker service, or a property owner can start a removal.
An abandoned vehicle is towed, stored, and, if unclaimed after the thirty-day notice, sold to cover charges. A junked vehicle kept on private property can draw a York County nuisance citation and forced cleanup.
