CA DMV Form REG 684. Notice of Intent to Dispose of a Vehicle Valued $500 or Less Removed by a Public Agency for Reasons other than Abandonment

The Notice of Intent to Dispose of a Vehicle Valued $500 or Less Removed by a Public Agency for Reasons other than Abandonment, REG 684, is submitted to the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) when a public agency has a lienholder (such as a tow company) that needs to notify all interested parties about the intent to dispose of an abandoned vehicle valued at $500 or less.

This form requires the lienholder to provide information such as their name, address, and contact information, as well as details about the vehicle including the vehicle identification number (VIN), license plate number, and description. The form also includes a section where the lienholder must specify the reasons for disposal other than abandonment.

Accuracy in completing this form is important to ensure that all interested parties are properly notified of the intent to dispose of the vehicle. The completed form should be submitted to the DMV within the specified time frame and copies should be sent to the registered owner(s), legal owner/lienholder, if any, and any other known interested parties.

An example scenario where this form may be used is when a public agency removes an abandoned vehicle valued at $500 or less, and the lienholder (e.g., tow company) needs to inform the interested parties about the intention to dispose of the vehicle due to reasons other than abandonment.
