Vehicle Abatement Program 

We handle abandoned cars on roadways throughout the unincorporated areas of Sacramento County. Abandoned vehicles are inspected, processed and towed within two weeks. If you see a vehicle that you reported as abandoned for more than two weeks - it was probably investigated and found not to be abandoned; someone had demonstrated interest in that car.

Note, we are not parking enforcement. Parking is handled by the Sacramento Sheriff including parking violations such as parking in front of a fire hydrant, parking the wrong way, blocking driveway, parking more than 72 hours etc. Please contact the Sheriff's parking enforcement division by phone at 916-876-6642, or via the web at: Parking Enforcement.

Terms: 
Abandoned - Vehicle doesn't show any signs of interest from current owner 
Abatement - elimination or removing of a nuisance
