When to Report
Under the City Code, a vehicle may not be parked on a public road for more than 48 hours unless it is in front of the address where it is registered. Vehicles are considered to be abandoned and subject to being towed away when they:

• Appear to be inoperable
• Are not parked at the registration address for more than two days
• Do not display current registration

How to Report
You can report abandoned vehicles by calling the Abandoned Auto Hotline at (503) 350-4058, or you can use our online Report a Problem Form. It will help us serve you better and faster if you are prepared to provide the following information:

• License plate state information
• The license plate numbers
• The license plate expiration date
• The make, model, and color of the vehicle
• The street address where the vehicle is parked

We are committed to respond to your abandoned vehicle report within one business day. If the vehicle meets the code criteria for being abandoned, we will apply an orange warning sticker to the window to provide 48 hours advance notice to the vehicle's owner before towing. If the vehicle is not moved within 48 hours, it will be towed away and impounded.

Retrieving Towed Vehicles
Impounded vehicles can be redeemed from the storage yard of the tow company that took the vehicle. To find out which tow company impounded the vehicle, you can call Code Compliance at (503) 526-2270 or the Beaverton Police Department at (503) 526-2260.
