There are many reasons why a vehicle is considered inoperable including being junked, wrecked, totally or partially dismantled, discarded, or missing parts or equipment necessary to operate safely and legally on a public right-of-way.
This is including but not limited to any flat tires or any part of the vehicle being supported by jacks, blocks, or other supports, or any vehicle or trailer lacking properly displayed current license plates. See Chapter 8.24.100 of the Municipal Code.
Inoperable vehicles must be kept within a fully enclosed structure such as a garage. They cannot be in view from the street or from adjacent properties. One inoperable vehicle that is being renovated or stored for the purpose of being renovated may be kept on the property provided that the vehicle is screened with a fence that is 6 feet in height. The fence must be of standard privacy fencing material that obscures the view of any inoperable vehicle or parts from adjacent right-of-way or properties.
Please, keep your yard clean and beautiful and help us improve the City of Evans!
To report inoperable vehicles on private property or along major streets and highways, please call Jacque Ehrett at (970) 475-1170.
