How Many Unregistered Cars Can You Have On Your Property In Massachusetts?

If found that the answer is just one.

Unregistered Vehicles. A vehicle that does not bear a current license plate is deemed to be unregistered. Only one unregistered vehicle may be maintained on any residential lot and may be stored only in the rear yard screened from the public way or within a completely enclosed building. -casetext.com
