If an RV removed under this law is valued at $4,000 or less, the agency uses this disposal process. If 30 days pass after the notice and the RV is unclaimed, fees unpaid, and no hearing was requested or attended, the agency must give the lienholder permission to dispose. It must verify the RV is inoperable; if it runs, disposal is allowed only if it was towed for a safety or environmental hazard. If DMV or CLETS has no owner name and address, the agency can authorize disposal any time after removal. Disposed RVs can go only to licensed dismantlers or scrap iron processors. The lienholder must send or keep the disposal authorization (send within 5 days to a dismantler; keep 90 days if scrapped). Disposed RVs cannot be rebuilt to run, unless they qualify for horseless carriage or historical plates. If you reclaim your RV within 30 days, the lienholder may charge reasonable service fees but not lien sale fees. If a hearing finds the removal was unjustified, or the RV was not inoperable or not a hazard, the agency pays towing and storage costs.
Before removal, the agency must post a 72‑hour notice on the RV. No 72‑hour notice is needed if it was abandoned and worth $300 or less. Within 48 hours after removal (not counting weekends and holidays), the agency or lienholder must mail a notice with where the RV is, why it was towed, that you have 30 days to claim it, and how to ask for a hearing within 10 days. If the owner cannot be identified, the agency must post two copies of the notice near where the RV was removed within 48 hours. The agency must get owner info from DMV or CLETS and must tell the state Stolen Vehicle System right away after removal. If you ask for a hearing, the agency holds it within 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) and the hearing officer cannot be the person who ordered the tow. The RV cannot be disposed of until the hearing, and any court review, are finished. If you do not request or attend the hearing, the agency’s hearing duty is met.
The law creates a local RV removal and disposal program in Alameda and Los Angeles Counties. It uses the state definition of recreational vehicle, and says an RV is inoperable if it can only be moved by a tow truck. The section stays in effect until January 1, 2030.
