Junked vehicle shall mean a vehicle that is self-propelled and:

(1)Does not have lawfully attached to it:
a. An unexpired license plate; and
b. A valid motor vehicle inspection certificate; and
(2) Is:
a. Wrecked, dismantled or partially dismantled, or discarded; or
b. Inoperable and has remained inoperable for more than:
(i)Seventy-two (72) consecutive hours, if the vehicle is on public property; or

(Ord. No. 78-0-10, § 1, 4-18-78; Ord. No. 10-O-09, § 1, 5-18-10)

Sec. 13-97. - Declaration of nuisance.
Junked vehicles which are located in any place of the city where they are visible from a public place or public right-of-way are detrimental to the safety and welfare of the citizens of the city, tending to reduce the value of private property, to invite vandalism or create fire hazards, to constitute an attractive nuisance creating a hazard to the health and safety of minors, and are detrimental to the economic welfare of the city by producing blight which is adverse to the maintenance and continuing development of the city. Such vehicles are therefore declared to be a public nuisance.

This property is going in front of City Council for a hearing about the abatement of the property and the structure. 18 August 2026 @ 6pm. City council will hear arguments regarding the violations that are present and the attempts to resolve these issues.

The purpose for the public hearing is to determine whether or not such building is a dangerous or substandard building, and whether or not such building should be repaired, removed or demolished. At the public hearing to determine whether a building complies with the standards set forth in this division, the owner, lienholder, or mortgagee has the burden of proof to demonstrate the scope of any work that may be required to comply with this division and the time it will take to reasonably perform the work. At the conclusion of a public hearing conducted under this division, the municipality if it finds that a building should be repaired, removed or demolished, shall require the owner, lienholder or mortgagee of the building to secure the building from unauthorized entry, and/or repair, remove or demolish the building within thirty (30) days from the date of the order unless the owner or lienholder establishes at the hearing that the work cannot reasonably be performed within thirty (30) days. If the municipality allows the owner, lienholder or mortgagee more than thirty (30) days to repair, remove or demolish the building, the municipality will establish specific time schedules for the commencement and performance of the work and shall require the owner, lienholder or mortgagee to secure the property in a reasonable manner from unauthorized entry while the work is being performed as determined by the city council. The municipality may not allow the owner, lienholder or mortgagee more than ninety (90) days to repair, remove or demolish the building or fully perform all work required to comply with the order unless the owner, lienholder, or mortgagee submits a detailed plan and time schedule for the work at the public hearing and establishes at the hearing that the work cannot reasonably be completed within ninety (90) days because of the scope and complexity of the work. If the municipality allows the owner, lienholder, or mortgagee more than ninety (90) days to complete any part of the work required to repair, remove or demolish the building, the municipality shall require the owner, lienholder, or mortgagee to regularly submit progress reports to the city to demonstrate that the owner, lienholder, or mortgagee has complied with the time schedules established for commencement and performance of the work. If the building is not vacated, secured, repaired, or demolished within the allotted time, the city may vacate, secure, remove, or demolish the building at its own expense. If the municipality incurs expenses in vacating, securing, repairing, removing, or demolishing the building, the city will assess the expenses on, and the city will have a lien against, unless it is a homestead as protected by the Texas Constitution, the property on which the building is located and that the lien is a privileged lien subordinate only to tax liens and all previously recorded bonafide mortgage liens upon the property.
