Q and A: Ask the CCCA Board a question and we will try to find an answer.
What can be done about cars parked/abandoned on a neighborhood street on a permanent basis or which have been parked for a while but block the sight line on oncoming traffic?​
​
Examples:
(1) A pickup truck parked on a neighborhood street with all tires flat that has not moved in over 3 months.
(2) A car parked for more than 2 days that makes it hard to see oncoming traffic.
​Answers:
----For clearly abandoned vehicles, call the Athens-Clarke County police department at 706-613-3345 (non-emergency) and report the vehicle and quote ordinance 3-9-2 (see below). You can alternatively contact the ACC Communications Department (work hours M-F) at 706-613-3795 or info@accgov.com and they will route your concern to the appropriate department. Note, a junked vehicle is any vehicle that "either does not have lawfully affixed on it an unexpired license plate or tax stamp, or which vehicle is wrecked, dismantled, partially dismantled, inoperative, abandoned, or discarded."
---For vehicles that have not moved for two or more days, call the ACC Communications Department and report a violation of ordinance Section 3-3-20 (see below).
