Nebraska Abandoned Vehicle Removal Statute

Under Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-1901 to 60-1911, a vehicle is abandoned if left unattended, without valid license plates, for more than six hours on any public property, or for more than seven days on private property without the owner's consent. Law enforcement or authorized agents may impound and store it at a licensed facility. The keeper notifies the registered owner and lienholders using Department of Motor Vehicles records, and unclaimed vehicles may be sold at public auction. Local ordinances may add procedural detail but cannot shorten statutory notice or alter disposal procedures.

Owners remain liable for towing, storage, and auction costs. Failure to reclaim within thirty days results in forfeiture and sale, with proceeds applied to unpaid charges.
