(A) The county may remove to a storage garage or area an abandoned or junked motor vehicle found to be in violation of an ordinance adopted pursuant to this section. However, except for vehicles defined in division (5) of the definition of ABANDONED MOTOR VEHICLE in § 90.01, a vehicle may not be removed from private property, without the written request of the owner, lessee or occupant of the premises, unless the Board of Commissioners or a duly authorized county official or employee has declared the vehicle to be a health or safety hazard.
(B) Appropriate county officers and employees have a right, upon presentation of proper credentials, to enter on any premises within the provisions of this chapter or any other applicable ordinance of the county making jurisdiction at any reasonable hour in order to determine if any vehicles are health or safety hazards.
(C) The county may require a person requesting the removal from private property of an abandoned or junked motor vehicle to indemnify the county against any loss, expense or liability incurred because of the vehicle's removal, storage or sale.
