In Wilmington, it is not a code violation to have an automobile parked on private property without a current tag, although it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle on public streets without current tags.
In New Hanover County, you can keep one inoperative vehicle in your backyard. You can work on a car in your yard, but you cannot do it for pay or for services. For example, you can work on a friend or family member’s car, but you cannot accept any money or services for your work.
