Why the parked hearse in Son Xigala remains — a reality check for Palma
How Palma handles parked vehicles that appear abandoned
Palma usually waits for signs of abandonment and a legal notice period before towing a parked vehicle.
Published: April 23, 2026

Answer
Why can a parked vehicle stay on a street in Palma for so long before it is removed?
In Palma, a vehicle usually has to remain parked for more than ten days and show clear signs of neglect before the city starts an official removal process. After a notice sticker is placed on the vehicle, the owner still has 21 days to respond before towing can happen. The rules are designed to protect owners from mistakes, but they can feel slow to residents who want a quicker response.
