When a vehicle is "deemed to be abandoned", a green tag is placed on it, warning the owner that if the vehicle is not removed from the streets within seventy-two (72) hours, the City will tow it away and they will be subject to a $500 fine (first time offender) or $700 (second time offender). The impounded vehicle is held for 30 days. If it goes unclaimed, it is disposed of by our towing contractor.
