The Oregon Abandoned Vehicles form is an essential resource for individuals and businesses dealing with abandoned vehicles in the state. This form is part of a larger packet that provides crucial information regarding possessory liens and the legal steps required to title a vehicle that has been abandoned. It outlines various scenarios where ownership can be transferred through a possessory lien process, such as vehicles left by tenants, those towed from private property, and vehicles removed at the request of local authorities. To navigate this process, the form includes details about necessary documents and fees for applying for a title. It also addresses frequently asked questions, helping users understand their rights and responsibilities.

Possessory Liens / Abandoned Vehicles –
Oregon DMV
Advice from DMV
DMV cannot advise you which of the laws or forms mentioned in this packet might fit your situation. There may
be other laws or legal procedures that could be followed to dispose of an abandoned vehicle or obtain legal
interest in a vehicle. If you have questions about which laws may apply, or about the steps to claim or
foreclose a lien, you may want to seek legal advice from an attorney or research on your own.
Abandoned Vehicles
To title any vehicle, the applicant must have obtained legal interest in the vehicle. People usually get legal interest
in a vehicle through some kind of purchase or financial agreement. The seller voluntarily transfers interest in
the vehicle to the buyer by assigning the vehicle title to them.
With an abandoned vehicle, any transfer of interest is involuntary and requires some kind of legal process, also
called an “operation of law.” A person cannot simply become the owner of a vehicle because it was left on
their property.
Generally, it is not the property owner who applies for title. Instead, whoever buys the vehicle at a sale by a lien
claimant or authority usually applies for title.
Here are some of the provisions in Oregon law for disposal of abandoned vehicles:
• For vehicles abandoned on a highway, public or private property, ORS Chapter 819 allows for an appropriate
authority – such as a state, county, or city agency – to remove the vehicle. Some local governments may also
have ordinances governing the disposal. If the vehicle is abandoned on federal property, federal laws apply.
• For vehicles abandoned on private property, ORS 98.830 states:
“(1) A person who is the owner, or is in lawful possession, of private property on which a vehicle has been
abandoned may have a tower tow the vehicle from the property if:
(a) The person affixes a notice to the vehicle stating that the vehicle will be towed if it is not removed;
(b) The notice remains on the vehicle for 72 hours before the vehicle is towed; and
(c) The person fills out and signs a form that includes:
(I) A description of the vehicle to be towed;
(II) The location of the property from which the vehicle will be towed; and
(III) A statement that the person has complied with ORS 98.830 (1) (a) and (b).”
DMV does not provide a form. The person can write the information described in (c) on paper. The person
should give this notice to the tower who tows the vehicle.
• For vehicles abandoned on private property, ORS 819.280 allows a person to make a request to a state, city,
or county authority to dispose of the vehicle when it is appraised at a value of $1,000 or less by a person who
holds a certificate issued under ORS 819.480, and the person making the request is determined to be in
lawful possession of the vehicle. If the authority chooses to dispose of the vehicle, the authority may only
dispose of the vehicle and its contents to a person who holds a valid dismantler certificate issued under ORS
822.110. The authority may charge the person requesting the disposal a fee to dispose of the vehicle.
• For vehicles left or parked in a parking facility or on proscribed property defined in ORS 98.805, ORS 98.812
states that “…the owner of the parking facility, or the owner of the proscribed property, may have a tower tow
the vehicle from the parking facility or the proscribed property and place the vehicle in storage at a secure
location under the control of the tower.” The statute further states that the tower is entitled to a lien on the
vehicle and its contents.
1
There may be other provisions that could apply, such as when the vehicle owner was a former tenant of
the property owner and owes rent, or when the property owner performed labor on the vehicle or stored the
vehicle at the request of the vehicle owner or lawful possessor. If you have questions about whether you can
claim a lien, or about the steps to claim or foreclose a lien, you may want to seek legal advice from an
attorney or research on your own.
Proof of Legal Interest in an Abandoned Vehicle
With abandoned vehicles, the vehicle title is often not available for transfer. Instead of a properly assigned title, and
in addition to any other title requirements, DMV must get satisfactory proof of the applicant’s legal interest in the
vehicle.
Here are some examples of the proof that DMV requires:
• For an abandoned vehicle, not subject to salvage title procedures, sold by an appropriate authority – such as
state police, a county sheriff, or a city – DMV requires a bill of sale to the buyer that describes the vehicle,
identifies the statutes or legal authority under which the sale was held, and states that former interest holders
were notified.
• For a vehicle sold through foreclosure of a lien by the tower who towed the vehicle, DMV requires a
certification from the tower about the lien, its foreclosure, and the sale that followed. Towers can get
possessory lien certification forms online from DMV.
• For a vehicle sold through foreclosure of another type of lien, DMV requires a certification from the lien
claimant. Certification forms for the more common liens – such as possessory labor or storage liens and
landlord liens – are available in this packet and online from DMV.
Possessory Liens
To title any vehicle, the applicant must have obtained legal interest in the vehicle through a legal process.
A tower claiming a possessory lien must have a valid tow business certificate issued under ORS 822.205.
Generally, it is not the lien claimant who applies for title. Instead, whoever buys the vehicle at a sale after the lien
foreclosure usually applies for title.
Here are some situations that might qualify for a possessory lien process:
1. A vehicle, owned by a tenant or occupant legally responsible for rent, was brought upon the leased premises
and retained by the landlord to secure payment of rent. The landlord may have a claim to a lien under ORS
87.162. This statute does not apply if the title record shows that there was a loan on the vehicle. If a
claimant forecloses a lien based on this statute, the title applicant should submit a Certificate of Possessory
Lien Foreclosure, Form 735-518.
2. A vehicle is abandoned on private property and removed at the request of the owner or lawful possessor of the
property according to ORS 98. The tower who removed the vehicle may have a claim to a lien under ORS
98.830. If a claimant forecloses a lien based on these statutes, the title applicant should submit a Certificate of
Possessory Lien Foreclosure, Form 735-519.
3. A vehicle is repaired, stored, towed, etc. at the request of the owner or lawful possessor of the vehicle. The
person who repaired, stored, or towed the vehicle may have a claim to a lien under ORS 87.152. If a claimant
forecloses a lien based on this statute, the title applicant should submit a Certificate of Possessory Lien
Foreclosure, Form 735-520.
• Lien claimants are required to file a Surety Bond, Form 735-522B or an irrevocable letter of credit in the
amount of $20,000 with DMV unless they:
o Are a franchised dealership, as defined in ORS 650.120 (5);
o Are a manufacturer, as defined in ORS 650.120;
o Hold a towing business certificate issued under ORS 822.205; or
o Are a national auction company titling the vehicle according to ORS 87.152 (3).
• Lien claimants who file these documents with DMV must also submit an annual written certification that
the bond or letter of credit is still in effect.
4. A vehicle is abandoned by a tenant with whom a landlord has a lease or rental agreement. The landlord may
have a claim to a lien under ORS 90.425. If a claimant forecloses a lien based on this statute, the title applicant
should submit a Certificate of Possessory Lien Foreclosure, Form 735-521.
5. A vehicle is abandoned or taken into custody by an appropriate authority – such as Oregon State Police,
Department of Transportation, or a county or city agency – and towed at the request of the authority. The tower
who removed the vehicle may have a claim to a lien under ORS 819.160. If a claimant forecloses a lien based
on this statute, the title applicant should submit a Certificate of Possessory Lien Foreclosure, Form
735-6604.
(Continued on next page)
2
6. A vehicle is left or parked in violation of ORS 98.810 and removed from either proscribed property or a
parking facility at the request of the owner of the proscribed property or parking facility. The tower who
removed the vehicle may have a claim to a lien under ORS 98.812. If a claimant forecloses a lien based on
these statutes, the title applicant should submit a Certificate of Possessory Lien Foreclosure, Form
735-6605.
How to Apply for Title
After a lien claimant forecloses a lien, they must fully complete and sign the appropriate possessory lien
certification form.
• The lien claimant address must be a physical address.
• Towers must include the valid tow plate number of the tow truck they used.
• Towers must use the name on their valid tow plate record for the lien claimant name on the certification form.
The lien claimant then gives the certification form to the buyer. The buyer, or a later buyer, can apply for title.
The title applicant must submit to DMV:
• An Application for Title and Registration, Form 735-226, fully completed and signed or
an electronic application completed at DMV.
• The appropriate possessory lien certification form, fully completed and signed by the lien claimant.
o DMV will reject your application if you submit more than one type of possessory lien certification form.
• The appropriate title fee.
o If the vehicle was last titled in Oregon, you must apply for title within 30 days of buying the vehicle to
avoid paying late fees.
o If the vehicle was last titled in another state, or must be titled as an assembled, reconstructed, or
replica vehicle, DMV must do a physical inspection of the vehicle identification number (VIN). The
inspection fee is $9.
Lien Claimants Are Required to Keep Records
Lien claimants are required to keep records sufficient to show that all vehicles they sell or offer for sale, they
acquired through possessory liens. They must retain these records for five years. Failure to maintain records on a
vehicle may result in fines, and DMV might not process the title transaction.
These are the records that lien claimants must keep:
• A signed and dated copy of an original tow notice, repair order, law enforcement impound form, or similar
document showing how the lien claimant took possession of the subject vehicle, or a written record
identifying the party that authorized the lien claimant to take possession of the subject vehicle, including the
time and date of contact;
• A signed and dated copy of an original claim of possessory lien or notice of foreclosure sale form, applicable
to the possessory lien, or similar document showing the owner of the vehicle was notified of the possessory
lien;
• A signed and dated copy of the DMV certificate of possessory lien foreclosure form applicable to the
possessory lien, as specified in OAR 735-020-0012, for each subject vehicle; and
• A bill of sale, if applicable.
A lien claimant must notify DMV within 10 days of a sale or transfer of interest of a vehicle. DMV must receive
a completed and signed Notice of Sale or Transfer of Vehicle, Form 735-6890.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Out-of-State Possessory Liens
Q: I have a possessory lien document, sheriff's sale document, or similar document from a jurisdiction outside of
Oregon. Can I apply for an Oregon certificate of title using one of these documents?
A: No. Oregon DMV will not accept a title application when the legal process to transfer vehicle ownership is
based on out-of-state abandoned vehicle or foreclosure laws. The applicant may choose to apply for title in
the jurisdiction where the foreclosure happened.

Donating an Abandoned Vehicle
Q: A vehicle was abandoned on my property. Can I donate it to charity?
A: No. You cannot give away a vehicle that was abandoned on your property.* Oregon law has several
provisions for the disposal of abandoned vehicles. See the section “Abandoned Vehicles” in this packet for
more information.
* Unless you are a landlord in accordance with ORS 90.425. See the section “Possessory Liens” in this
packet, situation #4, for more information.
DMV Possessory Lien Forms
Q: Which form should I use?
A: DMV cannot advise you on the foreclosure process or form that applies to your situation. If you're not
sure, you may want to seek legal advice from an attorney.
Q: Can I just complete and submit several DMV possessory lien forms?
A: No. DMV will reject your application if you submit more than one type of possessory lien form. Each form
references different laws, rules, and requirements. It is your responsibility to know the laws that apply to
your situation. If you're not sure, you may want to seek legal advice from an attorney.
Q: Do I need to complete the entire form?
A: Yes. A DMV possessory lien form must be fully completed and signed.
Q: Are there special instructions for completing the form?
A: No. Just be sure that each section of the form is complete and that you have signed the form. Your signature
certifies that you have complied with all applicable lien foreclosure laws and rules. If you're not sure, you may
want to seek legal advice from an attorney.
Q: Are there more forms required besides the possessory lien form?
A: See the section “How to Apply for Title” in this packet for more information on the forms you need to apply for
title after a possessory lien is foreclosed.
Professional Lien Services
Q: Am I required to use a professional lien service?
A: No. You can file the lien yourself or use a professional lien service. Either way, all applicable laws and rules
must be followed.
Requesting Vehicle Owner Information
Q: Am I required to contact the vehicle owner when foreclosing a lien?
A: It depends on the type of lien being foreclosed and the laws that apply. If you're not sure, you may want to
seek legal advice from an attorney.
Q: Can I get vehicle owner information from DMV so I can notify them for lien foreclosure purposes?
A: Yes. DMV can process a records request for this purpose. You must include a $4 processing fee and submit
a written request that has all of the following:
• The vehicle year, make, model, vehicle identification number (VIN), and license plate number.
• A signed statement that you are requesting the record to “provide notice of a lien foreclosure.”
• A citation of the applicable laws authorizing the foreclosure, such as the ORS number or Local
Ordinance number.
• For businesses, include the business name or write the request on official business letterhead. An
authorized business representative must sign the request.
Example: I hereby request the vehicle record for a 1999 Ford Ranger, VIN ABCDEFG1234567890, plate
ABC123. I will use any personal information in the record solely to provide notice of a lien
foreclosure under ORS 123.456.
