(A) Owners or persons in lawful possession of private property may request the towing away of illegally parked vehicles under the authority of Cal. Veh. Code § 22658(a).
(B) Owners are responsible for proper posting as required and must have the vehicles towed to the nearest authorized storage garage, as required under Cal. Veh. Code § 22658(a), which is willing to take the vehicle for storage. A property owner or agent may not order a vehicle to be taken to other than the nearest public garage, without permission of the registered owner.

With proper posting, the owner or person in lawful possession of the private property may request that cars be towed away from the restricted areas in the same manner as permitted under Cal. Veh. Code § 22658(A).
(D) Property owners or their authorized agents, in no case a tow car operator or employee, may request a tow-away only in accordance with the procedure outlined herein. Violation by a property owner is an infraction.
