15-906 : Release of vehicle from impoundment.

  1. The owner of a vehicle impounded pursuant to this chapter or his authorized agent may make application to take possession of the vehicle and remove such vehicle from the impound lot upon presentation of an application for certificate of title or a certificate of title, and upon payment of the cost of towing the vehicle and all charges which have accrued for the storage of the vehicle. However, payment of towing and storage fees shall not relieve the owner of responsibility for the violation.
  2. Any owner who requests a hearing pursuant to § 15-907 may obtain the release of the vehicle from the impound lot without prepayment of any towing or storage costs; provided, however, as security for the impoundment costs, he shall either make a cash deposit or execute a bond with one (1) or more sureties as approved by the chief of police or his designee, payable to the city, in a sum equal to the total impoundment fee as the time of release of the vehicle.
  3. In each case the officer in charge shall give a proper receipt for the fee paid, cash deposit, or bond.
  4. No owner of a vehicle may evade the payment of any impound fee provided for in this chapter by representing that he was not operating the vehicle himself at the time of the violation charged. (as added by Ord. #2015-14, Jan. 2016)
