Jack, as it happens I see an article on page 19 of the current Shore Progress about a property in Pocomoke that came before the County Commissioners at a public hearing with many items of non-compliance, including untagged vehicles.

Apparently the property owner has complied. However, one interesting tidbit in the the article is a statement by Ed Tudor, county director of the Department of Review and Permitting. In reference to an untagged pickup truck Tudor said ".. an untagged pickup truck can stay on the site as long as it is covered or screened."

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:

Here is how Worcester County handles the junk vehicle definition. I have copied only a portions of that code as there are exceptions given to junk yards and time limits to remove the vehicles etc. as well as additional definitions. Anyone interested in the complete code can find it on Worcester Counties web site.

(b)Prohibition. Except as herein set forth, after April 1, 1990, it shall be unlawful to possess any junk vehicle or vessel or major assembly component in Worcester County for more than thirty days in any one calendar year.

JUNK VEHICLE OR VESSEL -- Any vehicle which is without a current license plate or plates, or any vessel which is without a valid certificate of number or a valid use sticker and is in either a rusted, wrecked, discharged, dismantled, partly dismantled, inoperative, or abandoned condition. A "junk vehicle or vessel" shall be classified in one of two categories:



		(1)RESTORABLE -- A junk vehicle or vessel that is in a condition whereby repairs to the same could be made to place it in operating condition without exceeding the estimated value when repaired.



		(2)WRECK -- A junk vehicle or vessel in such condition that it is economically unsound to restore the same to operating condition, considering the repairs to be made, age of the vehicle and market value of the vehicle if it were restored, or in such condition that the public officer determines that it warrants such classification.



		MAJOR ASSEMBLY COMPONENT -- Body, frame, engine assembly, transmission or rear axle assembly.



		OPERATING CONDITION -- In a condition where the vehicle is capable of passing all required tests and inspections imposed by the laws of the State of Maryland for a vehicle to be operated in the State of Maryland or in a condition where the vessel is capable of passing all required tests and inspections imposed by the United States Coast Guard for operation upon the water.
