What can be done about illegally parked or abandoned vehicles?
Illegally parked or abandoned vehicles found on private property are the responsibility of the property owner or its management. Property owners or their management may have illegally or abandoned vehicles removed from their property at their expense. The sheriff’s office asks only that the property owner or authorizing agent having the vehicle towed notifies the Sheriff’s Office so that no stolen vehicle report is initiated. To report illegally parked or abandoned vehicles on public right-of-way, notify the Sheriff’s Office at 775-782-5126. Depending upon the circumstances, the vehicle will be subject to immediate removal or the owner of the vehicle will be afforded up to 72 hours to remove the vehicle him or herself.
