SD Codified L § 32-36-9 (through 2011) What's This?
32-36-9. Vesting of title in removal agency after notice sent--Time allowed for holder of title or lien holder to reclaim--Notice of intent to reclaim--Failure to reclaim. Notwithstanding any statutes to the contrary, title to any abandoned or junk motor vehicle, any impounded vehicle, or other scrap metal shall vest in the removal agency after a period of thirty days from the date on which notice was sent under § 32-36-8. The record holder of title or the lien holder may reclaim the motor vehicle or other scrap metal. The lien holder and record holder of title shall notify the department in writing within thirty days of their intent to reclaim the motor vehicle. However, if the record holder of title fails to claim and remove the motor vehicle or other scrap metal within thirty days after mailing of notice, title to the vehicle is irrevocably vested in the removal agency.
