What is a Sale on Abandoned Property?
This type of case is generally filed by towing companies or storage facilities in situations where property such as a vehicle, boat, furniture or other personal property has been abandoned by the person named as the defendant. The property must be abandoned for a period of 30 days before the case can be filed. The purpose of such a case is to receive permission from the court to sell the property and keep the proceeds to cover the storage charges. There is a filing fee of $35 payable upon the filing of the case.
