Private Property Private Property: Cars that have been abandoned

Jan 29

 

An untreated vehicle can create problems and also be an eyesore. Whatever the reason, an abandoned vehicle can cause a lot of damage to the property.

 

What is the exact meaning of an abandoned Car?

 

Any motor vehicle placed on private property for long periods of time can be deemed abandoned. Specifics will vary based on your area or town, state and local rules and statutes, but any motorized vehicle left on your property for more than 48 hours is typically considered abandoned. The owner is able to allow vehicles to remain on private property for however long they consent to the. However, the owner may remove the vehicle from the area at their own discretion. (Note that for public places, the rules are typically similar, however, there are certain exceptions.)

 

What do you do if an unattended car is found on your property?

 

Consider asking your neighbors if they know who is the owner of the vehicle you wish to dismantle. This is the simplest and most considerate thing you can do. It could be that someone left it by accident or had been stranded. This is usually the solution. It is also possible to ask questions in local social media networks in the hope that someone will respond.

 

If your investigation does not produce results, make note of the vehicle's model, make color license plate, any other distinguishing elements. Next, go to or contact your local police department or sheriff's office and inform them that you have an abandoned title to your vehicle on your property and provide an explanation. The vehicle could be taken or in an accident. Towing it can resolve your issue.

 

It is also advisable to review local ordinances and regulations regarding private properties and abandoned vehicles. The terms used to define abandoned vehicles are different depending on the region.

 

How do you claim an abandoned vehicle?

 

Let's say you want to do anything other than have it removed. Can you be able to claim ownership of the vehicle? It might take some time but is also be profitable.

 

You have to wait for some time before you are able to legally claim the abandoned vehicle in most places. You must research the laws to do so. Some states require that you "good-faith attempt" to find the owner. In other states, vehicles abandoned located on public or private land are required to report to the police. You must wait for the vehicle to be taken care of generally. In some states, like Washington there is a possibility to have the vehicle removed.

 

How do I obtain an abandoned Vehicle's Title

 

The best way to go about it is visit your state's DMV website to find the list of requirements. In the majority of cases you'll have to provide the evidence in your efforts to locate the owner as well as any costs and documentation that your state may require. After obtaining all the information then you'll need to file a request for a title certificate.

 

Handling a vehicle that is abandoned within your property might appear to be a headache, but there are laws and procedures in place to assist you. You can have it towed, claim ownership and sell it in an auction, or use it in a manner that is appropriate for you. Consider putting up a banner that says, "Abandoned cars will be towed!" It will be your loss and possibly your gain if owners realize it.
