Jindo County in South Jeolla Province will launch a "comprehensive crackdown on overdue vehicles" starting August 28, aiming to resolve outstanding tax arrears on-site and foster a culture of diligent tax payment.

In particular, on August 28, as well as September 4 and 11, the county will designate "On-site Enforcement Days," during which the Collection Team, Non-tax Revenue Team, and Traffic Administration Team will jointly conduct license plate seizures in areas with high vehicle concentrations across towns and villages.

This enforcement will primarily target: ▲ vehicles with two or more overdue automobile tax payments, and ▲ vehicles with over 300,000 won in unpaid automobile-related fines overdue for more than 60 days. Among these, vehicles with three or more overdue automobile tax payments will be subject to nationwide license plate seizure.

Seized license plates can only be returned after the outstanding amount is paid. If payment is not made, the county will proceed with compulsory collection of arrears through public auction of the vehicle. However, for vehicles essential for livelihood, the county plans to encourage voluntary payment by providing guidance and advance notice instead of immediate seizure.

A county official stated, "This crackdown is a joint operation carried out simultaneously by all 22 cities and counties in South Jeolla Province, and the intensity will be significantly increased." The official emphasized, "We urge residents to promptly pay their overdue amounts to avoid any inconvenience from license plate seizures."
