Derelict Vehicles

Red Tagged

Over the next few weeks, the Vehicle Licensing Department will be removing and disposing of unclaimed derelict vehicles.

This will apply to vehicles that are on public roads or rights of way, and vehicles that the department considers pose a threat to public health or safety.

Beginning this week, each derelict vehicle will be tagged with a red sticker. This notifies the owner of the department’s intention to remove it to a holding area. The owner will then have 14 days to claim the vehicle. If no contact is made with the Vehicle Licensing Department, and if reasonable steps to identify the owner fail, the vehicle will be disposed of.

If you own a non-functioning vehicle and want assistance to remove it, you should first contact your insurance company to have the vehicle terminated. Following that, you may contact the Vehicle Licensing Department at 945-8344. Arrangements will be made to have the vehicle removed free of charge.
