More and more towns across the US are passing laws which restrict property owners from having vehicles without current tags/registration on their property. It doesn't matter if they're being worked on, were recently wrecked or if your daily driver has a rust spot or two, the town/state/county will charge fines until the vehicles are removed or come and get your car when your time is up. I am dealing with this problem right now. I live on the outskirts of a small, country town and I recently received a letter in regards to my 1958 Olds. Apparently, even if your car is covered with a car cover, behind a 6 foot tall enclosed fence or in a three walled carport your car is subject to nuisance laws (if it has rust, is wrecked, partly dismantled or doesn't display current plates.) Town officials have the right to enter your private property at anytime, without you knowing, to inspect for such violations. The sad part is most of these laws get passed by just a couple of clowns that call themselves "Town Managers" that to my knowledge, aren't even voted in! I can't even remember the last time there was an election and I've lived here for over 10 years. Here is a copy of the letter that I received from my town so you can read the exact wording of the laws. I did remove my name and address from the top for safetly reasons. (Sorry if it's small, I'm not sure how to make it bigger.) So, if anyone is thinking of moving to Pittsville, MD you may want to keep your parts or project cars out of town limits.
