In Wisconsin, the clock is ticking. If your vehicle is abandoned or stationary in a public space, parking enforcement is already on the lookout, issuing tickets that can escalate quickly. When it comes to abandoned vehicles, the city’s ordinance gives you only 72 hours to move your car before it risks impound, and the costs can skyrocket. Don’t let your situation worsen!

What happens if you delay
⚠ Escalating Ticket Fees
If you delay, parking tickets will continue to accumulate, often leading to fees that can exceed $1,000 in some cities. Take action now to prevent further costs.
⚠ Impound Costs
Failure to act can result in your vehicle being towed to an impound lot, where daily storage fees can add up to $40-100 per day. Don’t let this burden escalate!
⚠ Complicated Donation Process
Once your vehicle is towed, the donation process becomes significantly more complicated. The municipal auction process might make it difficult to secure a good outcome for your donation.
⚠ DMV Liability Issues
If your vehicle is ticketed or abandoned, resolving tickets before the DMV will delay the release-of-liability. This can hinder your ability to donate smoothly and quickly.
