My husband and I recently moved to Aurora, CO from TN. He is in the military and stationed here. My car (with TN tags) has been legally parked in a spot outside our apartment complex for about a week because the key broke off in the ignition so it won't start. We were planning on getting it fixed but cannot do so until tomorrow when we get paid because until then we are broke. My TN tags are about a month expired. I have been trying to figure out how to get them renewed from here but it doesn't look like I can. I am about to sell the car because I am going home while my husband gets deployed in a couple months, so I did not want to have to get CO tags. Since we do not drive the car (we have another) I did not think it was a problem. Well, my apartment complex left a note on my window that they are going to tow my car tomorrow! Is there any way to stop this? I can't believe they even have the authority to do so. On top of that, since it won't run how am I going to get it out if it does get towed and will they even release it to me with expired tags?
 
go to your local DMV and get a temporary permit. Here in california they are a big red sticker. You will have to pay the fee's for registration renewal. Either that or get a temporary moving permit.
