Now in
effect: No junk cars allowed
in unincorporated Pierce County
Junk vehicles often
contribute to offensive smells and visual blight. Vehicles
and spare parts of vehicles attract rodents and other pests.
They may endanger the health and safety of children who may be
tempted to play on or around the vehicles. Leading fluids
could impact the quality of drinking water, wells and surface
water. There is a high correlation between junk vehicles
and the manufacture and distribution of drugs and vehicle "chop
shops"
To be classified as
junk or nuisance, a vehicle must satisfy three of the following
requirements: The vehicle is 3 years or older; extensively
damaged; apparently inoperable; and is equal to or less than its
value as scrap metal.
Vehicles stored in
building, screened from public view, or associated with certain
legally-zoned businesses are exempt from the junk car policy.
However, stored vehicles cannot attract rodents or other pests.
Allowing a nuisance
vehicle to remain on a property for more than 45 days could
result in fines or jail time.
Through it Cooperative Abatement
Program, the County will provide removal assistance to those
who qualify. To find out if you qualify, call 798-INFO
or visit the Responds web site at www.piercecountyresponds.org.
