Yangju City and Yangju Police Station Conduct 'Joint Intensive Crackdown on Delinquent Vehicles'

Yangju City conducted a large-scale crackdown on delinquent vehicle license plate impoundment jointly with the Yangju Police Station on the 7th, marking the 'National Unified License Plate Impoundment Day for Delinquent Vehicles.'

The city mobilized all staff from the Collection Division to intensify enforcement operations, utilizing the 'Real-Time Integrated Impoundment Program' newly introduced in February to concentrate on impounding vehicles delinquent in local taxes and non-tax revenues.

The target vehicles for license plate impoundment include those delinquent in automobile tax within the jurisdiction, vehicles with four or more delinquencies from other local governments (collection entrusted), and vehicles delinquent in automobile-related fines of 30 days or longer and 300,000 won or more (including those with lapsed automotive liability insurance and overdue vehicle inspections).

A total of 34 delinquent vehicles were impounded in this enforcement action, with impounded tax arrears totaling 53 million won. For impounded vehicles with unreturned license plates, the city plans to pursue stronger administrative sanctions including forced towing and public auction.

A city official stated, "In cooperation with the Yangju Police Station, we will strengthen enforcement against chronic delinquent vehicles and proxy vehicles likely to be misused in crimes, and work to eliminate delinquent vehicles and foster a culture of faithful tax payment."
