(A) The address-specific, residential handicapped parking space designated by this section, and identified by the city permit sticker issued under this section, is only for the use by the person or vehicle that bears the corresponding permit. Parking of a vehicle other than the vehicle with the sticker corresponding to that address shall be unlawful, and shall subject the owner of that unauthorized vehicle and/or driver to be ticketed and the vehicle towed by the Police Department at its discretion.
(B) The Police Department shall have the authority to ticket and/or tow any vehicle, regardless of whether a state-issued, handicapped placard or license plate is displayed by that vehicle, which does not also display a city-issued, address-specific, residential handicapped parking sticker corresponding to the address where the residential handicapped parking space and sign is located.
(C) All city address-specific, residential handicapped parking signs shall warn that “unauthorized vehicles not displaying a City of Hammond handicapped permit sticker for this address shall be ticketed and/or towed at the owner's expense.” The penalty for parking in such a spot without authorization shall be governed by § 72.999.
