Latest version.

With regard to an unclaimed junked motor vehicle, the county, after holding an unclaimed junked motor vehicle for 15 days, may destroy it or sell it at a private sale as junk. Within 15 days following the final disposition of the junked vehicle the county shall notify the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles that the vehicle has been determined to be a junked motor vehicle and disposed of as such. Any proceeds from the sale of a junked motor vehicle, after paying all costs of removal, storage, investigation and sale, and satisfying any liens of record on the vehicle, shall be held by the county for 30 days and paid to the registered owner upon demand. If the owner does not appear to claim the proceeds within 30 days after disposal of the vehicle, the funds shall be deposited in the county's general fund and the owner's right therein shall be forever extinguished.
