Release of holds for vehicles held for less than how many days does not require a written release from the Sheriff's Office?

• A. 3 days
• B. 5 days
• C. 7 days
• D. 10 days

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that there’s a time-based rule for releasing holds on vehicles: shorter holds can be released without extra paperwork, while longer holds require formal written authorization. The threshold here is five days. If a vehicle has been held for fewer than five days, the release from the Sheriff’s Office does not need a written release. But once the hold reaches five days or more, a written release becomes required to document the release and ensure proper authorization. So five days is the cutoff: under five days, no written release is needed; at five days or more, a written release is required.
