A vehicle that has been red-tagged has 72 hours (3 days) to move or it will be subject to
impoundment. A red-tag is a notice affixed to a vehicle that informs the
owner of why it
needs to be either moved, or removed from the street. Most vehicles
abandoned on public streets or City property will be stored at the City's
impound lot.
GSPD is able to
red-tag vehicles parked on either public or City property only.
A
vehicle can be red-tagged for these reasons:
-
The vehicle appears to be or is broken down,
-
The vehicle has expired or no registration,
-
The vehicle has been reported to be abandoned.

Abandoned Vehicles on Private Property:
If you have a vehicle abandoned on your property, contact the Police
Department at (970) 384-6500. An officer will respond to
determine if the vehicle is reported stolen. If the vehicle is
reported stolen, the Police Department will impound the vehicle and
remove it from the property. If the vehicle is not reported
stolen, the responsibility of the vehicle will fall on the owner of
the property. The property owner can
contact a tow company
to remove the vehicle, however, the cost will initially fall upon
the property owner who will
then have to seek civil recourse to collect money from the owner of
the vehicle. |
