The state of California, defines non-operational to mean that the car will not be driven, towed, parked or stored on public roads or highways for the entire registration period.

Normally, filing a notice of non-operation with a state is done to save on registration fees. In CA they permit for a planned non-operation (PNO) fee to be paid instead of the regular registration cost, the non-operational status will stay until you decide to operate the car and pay full registration renewal fees.

If you have a financed vehicle in Bellflower California generally you need to continually have car insurance on it. Most finance paperworks would require this so even if you file a notice of non-operation with your state’s DMV and are not going to drive the car, you will definitely need to verify with your finance company before attempting to remove insurance. Even though the car is not going to be on a roadway does not mean that damages could not happen to it and the need for car insurance will not be there.
