An orange tag on your car isn’t just a warning—it’s often the first step toward having your vehicle towed or impounded. Local authorities place these tags on cars that appear abandoned, inoperable, or are parked in a hazardous or illegal spot.
Common Reasons for Tagging:
-
Car looks broken down or damaged
-
Parked in the same spot for days or weeks
-
Blocking traffic or creating a safety hazard
How Fast Can It Happen?
In some places, a car can be considered abandoned after just 72 hours.
What to Do If You’re Tagged:
-
Contact Authorities: Find out why it was tagged and what steps to take.
-
Fix the Issue: Move the car, repair it, or comply with local laws.
-
Appeal If Needed: If you think it was tagged unfairly, gather evidence and file an appeal.
Bottom Line:
An orange tag means your car is at risk of being towed. Act fast to avoid losing it.
