That sucks. I really don't care what my neighbors yard looks like as long as they are decent, hard working honest people. I will take a messy yard over an asshole for a neighbor any day.

These ordinances have been successfully challenged. If it's in your driveway (or other appropriate parking area other than the street), and not an eyesore, the city cannot require you to tag it and keep it insured. (Tagging requires insurance).
Had a neighbor that ran afoul of our local nitwits, and I told him this, and he told them that, and they asked him to at least turn it around so that you can't see the (expired) tag from the street, which he did.
Throw a tarp over it, and tell them to come back with a search warrant if they want to see what is under the tarp.
Ask them if they have checked every boat for a current registration.
Most of the code enforcement people are pretty low grade (in employment terms) and act on a lot of bad information because 99% of the people let them get away with it.
Our local folks went on a tear about grass being too high. Me and couple of other folks challenged the ordinance. It (the ordinance, or at least the enforcement thereof)went away. Code enforcement is a profit center and the local government does not want to spend a lot of money defending any of it.

This is so appreciated. I don’t suppose you can point out the case law in question?
just park them around back up close to the house and throw
a tarp over them till you can get around to fixing

More likely to park all 9 on the gtass, six inches apert and front bumper a foot back from the gutter with a for sale sign one just one of them.
i feel for ya subdivision guys. we have some pretty tough bylaws on the
books for haralson county way out here,but good luck enforcing them
I'm in Carrollton and sell steel buildings for residential and commercial use. The ordinances Fayette, Fulton , Coweta impose will gag a maggot. Y'all move on out to Carroll county, as far as I know you can park as many cars on your grass as you want to as long as you didn't steal 'em.
Glad I dont live next them kind of folks thats why need good chunk of land around u. Think your neighbor needs some training on how to be good neighbor learn to tend to his own affairs instead of causing trouble.
I guess I have dodged a lot of bullets as I am in a fairly nice neighborhood where half the lots are about one acre, the rest one half acre with some that are 2 acres including mine. There were times when we had 5 licensed drivers with cars plus a pickup, a sports car, an antique car, and two totaled vehicles in the process of being rebuilt. I must say I have some very tolerant and good neighbors. I do have a garage/barn in the backyard that can hold 5 or 6 cars, a double car garage and carport on the house. I do live in Cobb County and am finally down to 4 vehicles and two tractors.
