Government To Residents With Abandoned Vehicles: Remove Them Or Face $1,000 Fine

News / Virgin Islands / July 15, 2019

Administrators from St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John have issued a stern message to Virgin Islanders with abandoned vehicles lying around the islands: remove them or face a $1,000 fine.

The Office of the Administrator is the coordinating agency for the Abandoned Vehicle Taskforce and will work in collaboration with both the public and private sector to identify, remove, and dispose of abandoned vehicles on each island in the territory, Government House said.

According to a release Government House issued, the island administrators have begun tagging abandoned vehicles and entering them into a database for removal.

The administrators urge individuals to remove their abandoned vehicles or face fines of no less than $1,000 in accordance with Title 20 VIC, Chapter 49.

St. John Administrator Shikima Jones said her office will be tagging 10-15 vehicles per month, working east to west across the island.

St. Croix Administrator Sammuel Sanes and St. Thomas/Water Island Administrator Avery L. Lewis also have begun tagging and entering abandoned vehicles into the database and expect to tag 20-25 vehicles per month, according to the release.

In addition to retrieving cars, the Abandon Vehicle Task Force will address other areas of public interest relating to the overall safety of residents in the community and beautification of public spaces.

To report an abandoned vehicle, contact the Office of the St. Croix Administrator at (340) 773- 1404 x4806 or the Office of the St. John Administrator at (340) 776-6484 or 340-693-4350 for the Office of the St. Thomas/Water Island Administrator.
