Steps
Confirm the statutory holding period has elapsed with no owner/lienholder claim
Run or re-verify the lienholder search to ensure all interested parties were properly identified
Send required pre-auction notice to the owner and lienholders per state law
Publish/schedule the lien sale or auction per jurisdictional notice requirements
Process the sale, apply proceeds against accrued storage/towing fees, and remit any statutory surplus to the owner
Known gotchas
Auction notice timing, publication requirements, and surplus-fund handling differ by state; a workflow tuned for one state's rules will not be compliant if copied to another
Failing to properly notify a lienholder (not just the owner) before sale is a common source of legal disputes even when the owner notice was done correctly
