In a notice shared on Instagram, the municipality urged owners to visit its offices as soon as possible and complete the necessary procedures to avoid their property being auctioned.
To reclaim an impounded vehicle or equipment, owners must visit the Control and Inspection Department in Industrial Area 5. There, they will need to resolve the reason for the impoundment and complete all the required release formalities.

Officials are urging people not to leave it until the last minute. Once the deadline passes, vehicles and machinery that have not been claimed could be put up for public auction.
The municipality has not announced any extension to the deadline, so anyone with an impounded vehicle is advised to complete the process as soon as possible.
