Abandoned Vehicle Title Process
What to do before applying for a title or junking a vehicle using the Abandoned Title process:
- It is required that the officer or warden notify the chief of police of the abandonment and location of the vehicle.
- Within 24 hours of ordering the removal, the office or warden shall notify the towing service of the name and address or all owner(s) and lien holder(s). The only exception is if the municipality has a service agreement with the towing company, then the municipality is required to provide notice to the owner(s) lien holder(s) of the abandonment and towing of the vehicle.
- You must provide all owners and lien holders notice, via certified mail, of intent to sell or dispose of (junk) the vehicle. If neither retrieve the vehicle (which may require payment for past services rendered) at least 10 days before you proceed. You must keep copies of your certified mail receipts including who the notifications are sent to and dates they are sent.
