Generally, refunds are not issued for vehicles abated, abandoned, or disposed of as low value vehicles.

Applications to register vehicles abated or abandoned under VC §§22660 or 22669 must be refused or rejected and any fees paid by the applicant must be refunded even if the vehicle has been operated (VC §42230).
