Cities do vary. In California a non-op car cannot be on the street. In my town it can't even be in your driveway. I got a notice about my 98 Sable in the driveway. Thing is it was one of four cars in a four car driveway and blocked by the other cars. You needed to come into the driveway to even see the plate. Their reason is that these cars always end up dirty junk. Didn't help that the neighbor, across the street, had a front yard full of actual junk. Mine, of course, was washed every two weeks. Ironically, around the block, a late model El Camino is parked on the street with expired tags for 6 months now.
