Just keep it out of snow banks(especially still running) and you should be fine...
Here is how you handle it... hire Welder to come over for an hour and attach every spare piece of junk you can find to the cars... declare them art projects... when the County shows up, emphatically state that they are protected under the first amendment and hand them the business card for an ACLU lawyer. End of problem. Plus it will piss your neighbor off even more... so bonus.

Zoning laws are in place to ensure someone doesn't purchase property in a residential neighborhood and (for instance) start running a used car lot. Last time I checked my zoning, the rule was no more than 2 untagged vehicles in a residential lot. There is no limit to how many registered cars are allowed. Might be an exception if they are not visible from the curb.
I have had 2 different situations with expired tag vehicles. One was in an apartment complex where the vehicle was ticketed. In court, it was thrown out. Can't remember exactly why. The other was a car that I had parked in a parking spot in a cul-de-sac (not running in a snow storm) that had expired tags. This one got me a notice that if I didn't have it done or tagged within 30 days it would be towed. I was actually kind of worried when I bought a used SUV last year. The previous owner dropped it off in front of my house on a Sunday and I got the new tags the next day. I was hoping that the same person who turned me in the last time wouldn't turn me in again in the less than 24 hours that it sat un-tagged in front of my house.
"Does anyone have a house for sale in the neighborhood? Apparently you have a neighbor that has too much time on their hands, and a nose that likes to sniff around. fred55
Okie dokie fellas, I finally got around to calling the Carroll County Zoning guy. He said the law states 1 untagged vehicle allowed, and if there are more, they have to be in a building. I told him I was told differently in the past, as in one could put a tarp over them and no one would see they are untagged.
Also asked if I could be informed who the reporting party was. The zoning man said, "yes, his name is ... " He drives past there daily to and from work.
As I googled his name, I am fairly confident the PRIZE winning responder here in the thread goes to, " "
The complainant's name is also the name of a real estate office in Westminster.
Can you blame the dude though he’s trying to get top dollar out of his investment and bilbos junkyard is nextdoor? I mean he may have lived with it but if it started hurting him financially i could see the logic.
We had neighbors do the same thing when they moved to another neighbors house.
Tell ya what, Stanton,,,,,,,,,,,,, and the complainer. ALL he has to do is pay me 150K for all my cars and trucks, so I can either a build new garage and fancy privacy fence to hermetically store Fancy new ones in, and pay all my car insurances and title/registration fees and I will take him up on the offer.
In this case, it is a real estate mogul trying to line his pockets at the expense of the pursuit of happiness me and my neighbors have the right to on our limited incomes.
Wait till they take the environmental approach , our business is being hit up by Md. Dept. of Enviro. with permits and forty pages of paperwork . I was told welding shops are the worse for the environment from the guy I talked to in office . I have been cleaning up over a year or so when I get time .
I don't want any issues or these things held over my head , I really think if the government wanted my property they could come and take it and pay me penny's on the dollar .
