Amador County · Amador County · November 3, 2026
The question on your ballot
To continue addressing community blight by removing and disposing abandoned and wrecked, or dismantled vehicles, shall the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program and the associated vehicle registration fee of $1 per vehicle and $3 per certain commercial vehicles be re-established for a ten year period, generating approximately $55,000 annually to be used exclusively for the removal and disposal of abandoned and wrecked vehicles throughout the county and incorporated cities?
In plain language
Measure S would bring back a program in Amador County that gets rid of abandoned vehicles. It would last for ten years. The program removes and throws away vehicles that are abandoned, wrecked, or taken apart. It works in the county and in its cities. It is paid for by a fee added when you register a vehicle. The fee is $1 per vehicle and $3 for certain commercial vehicles. The money could only be used to remove and throw away these vehicles. A YES vote brings back the program and the fee for ten years. A NO vote means they do not come back.
Fiscal impact
The fee would be $1 per vehicle and $3 for certain commercial vehicles when they are registered. It would last for 10 years and raise about $55,000 a year.
