Yuba City treats vehicles parked on a public street for more than 72 consecutive hours as eligible for abandonment-removal under California Vehicle Code §22651(k). Abandoned, wrecked, or inoperative vehicles on private property are addressed by Code Enforcement.
On public streets, Yuba City Code Enforcement and Yuba City PD enforce the 72-hour abandonment rule from California Vehicle Code §22651(k). A 72-hour warning tag is placed on suspected abandoned vehicles; if the vehicle is not moved at least one-tenth of a mile within the warning period, it may be towed at the owner's expense. On private property, abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or inoperative vehicles are a code-enforcement nuisance and are abated under the Yuba City Municipal Code. Reports are accepted through yc311 or by calling Code Enforcement at (530) 822-4703. The city also enforces an Abandoned Shopping Cart Ordinance (Ord. 003-21) separately, requiring retailers to maintain an Abandoned Shopping Cart Prevention Plan.
Tow, storage, and administrative fees are recovered from the registered owner. Inoperative vehicles on private property may trigger administrative citations with daily fines until the nuisance is abated. Repeat violations or refusal to abate can result in lien recordation and cost-recovery against the property.
