Background on Vehicle Impoundment and Auctions
The LMPD’s Vehicle Impoundment Unit is responsible for the impoundment of vehicles that are in violation of traffic regulations, blocking streets, or abandoned in public areas. Once a vehicle is deemed abandoned after 45 days, it is added to the next public sale. The proceeds from these auctions contribute to the Metro Government’s general fund. Auctions are typically held approximately twice a month online, and the next online auction can be found on the LMPD’s official website. Payments for all vehicles purchased during the auction are collected by the auctioneer at the end of the auction, and purchased vehicles must be picked up within five days of the auction ending. Vehicles can be picked up at the LMPD Impound Lot at 1487 Frankfort Avenue. For more information, individuals can contact the Vehicle Impoundment Unit at 502-574-7078 or visit their official website.
