Protect Your Property and Avoid Citrus Heights Code Enforcement Fines

The City of Citrus Heights is dedicated to maintaining high standards for community aesthetics. Under the Citrus Heights Municipal Code, “junk motor vehicles” stored in public view on private property are considered a public nuisance. Code Enforcement officers actively work to abate these nuisances to preserve local property values.

Leaving an inoperable or unregistered vehicle in your driveway can lead to inspections and administrative citations. Don’t risk a fine from the city or a complaint from a neighbor. Our team provides 100% free junk car towing throughout Citrus Heights, ensuring your vehicle is removed legally and professionally before it becomes a legal or financial liability.

Frequently Asked Questions (Citrus Heights)

What is the “72-Hour Rule” in Citrus Heights?

Like many cities in Sacramento County, vehicles parked on public streets that are inoperable or haven’t moved in 72 hours can be tagged and towed by the police. Avoid the impound fees by selling your car to us before it’s towed!

How much will I get for my junk car?

The value depends on the year, make, model, and current scrap metal prices. We provide instant, transparent quotes so you know your car’s value immediately.

What paperwork do I need to provide?

To ensure a legal transfer, we require a valid California Certificate of Title (Pink Slip) and a current Smog Certificate. These documents protect you from future liability once the vehicle is removed.

How quickly can you pick up my car?

We often provide same-day or next-day service in Citrus Heights. Once you accept our offer, we’ll schedule a pickup time that fits your busy life.
