Junk Vehicles

Just a reminder vehicles cannot be parked on your yard or driveway without having a current license to operate on the roadway and parked on an “all-weather-surface”.  This includes motor homes, trucks, boats, and travel trailers.  “All-weather-surface” means asphalt, Portland cement  concrete, brick paver or gravel surface free of all grass and weeds for the entirety of the surface and of sufficient thickness to adequately support a motor vehicle.

Junk and junk vehicles are prohibited. “Inoperable condition” means a vehicle that 1) has a missing or defective part that is necessary for normal operation; or 2) is on blocks, jacks or other supports; 3) does not have a current license properly displayed for operation on a public roadway as defined in Chapter 321.18 of the Code of Iowa; or 4) does not have all tires inflated properly in order for the vehicle to operate correctly.  This list is not intended to be exhaustive, and other conditions that show that a vehicle is not operable may also exist.
