Shafter Vehicle Abatement Program Targets Abandoned Cars
The Shafter Police Department launches its annual Vehicle Abatement Program next week to remove inoperative and unregistered vehicles on private property. A notice gives 72 hours to correct the violation, then property owners have 10 days to relocate or obscure the vehicle. If noncompliance continues, inspectors recheck, tow and impound fees arise, and eventual sale covers costs. Owners may request a coordinator to dispute the violation at any stage.
