Unlicensed, Junk & Outdoor Vehicle Storage

Bayard Municipal Code | Chapter 154 | Section 154.38

"When does a vehicle become 'junk'?"

Bayard's ordinance allows up to two unlicensed but otherwise operational vehicles to be stored outside on residential property. However, junk, salvage, scrap, or inoperable vehicles generally may not be stored outdoors except while temporary repairs are underway.

A vehicle may be considered junk if it is partially dismantled or missing major components such as doors, windows, wheels, tires, or other essential parts. The ordinance exists to help keep neighborhoods safe, attractive, and free from long-term vehicle storage.

How does enforcement work?

Whenever possible, the City seeks voluntary compliance first. If a potential violation is identified, the property owner is typically notified and given an opportunity to correct the issue before additional enforcement steps are considered.

The Problem Resolution Team helps identify community concerns and encourages education and communication. The Code Official is responsible for investigating potential violations and administering the enforcement process.

Questions? The complete City of Bayard Municipal Code is available online or may be obtained from the Bayard City Office.

Small improvements on individual properties make a big difference across our entire community. Thank you for helping keep Bayard a place we're all proud to call home.
