The Police Impound Officer handles inoperable vehicles that are on private property (i.e. a junk car in someone's yard).

When an inoperable vehicle is found on private property, the offender is given a 30-day warning in order to comply with the code. If the vehicle remains in violation after the 30-day period, the offender will be given a 10-day notice of violation. If they disregard the notice of violation criminal enforcement action is taken. Due to the large the volume of reports, it will take longer than the minimum required by code and policy in order to bring charges and tow a vehicle. The Impound Officer makes every attempt to seek voluntary compliance as soon as possible.

The Impound Officer will investigate your report, and no further action is required on your part. Should you need to follow up after completing this form you can contact the impound office at 703-280-0716 or by email at FCPDjunkvehicle@fairfaxcounty.gov
