5. Why are my garage sale or other signs being removed?

Signage, such as garage sale signs, is only allowed on private property. No signage is allowed in public right of ways. All signs found or reported on public property will be removed.

6. Why was my car tagged as a junked or inoperable vehicle?

Inoperable means not capable of being used or operated due to legal or mechanical incapability. If a vehicle on private property has not moved in 30 days, is dismantled or has expired registration and/or inspections tags it is deemed a junk motor vehicle.
