Except as defined in section 11.40.030 of this chapter, it shall be unlawful:
A. For any wrecker owner or operator to tow or otherwise move a vehicle from any area or portion of a public street or highway without the consent of the owner or custodian thereof, unless such wrecker owner or operator shall first notify the police department.
B. For any wrecker owner or operator, or any other person, to tow, or otherwise move a vehicle or authorize the removal thereof from any private road or driveway, or from any privately owned land or property in the city except:
1. When such wrecker owner or operator is requested to perform towing services by the owner or custodian of the vehicle, or
2. When the wrecker owner or operator is requested to perform such towing services by an owner or custodian of private property on which the vehicle is parked; provided the property is posted with signs at all entrances or at other conspicuous locations in such a manner that the subject vehicle's operator could have read the same, notifying him the unauthorized parking would result in removal of the vehicle at the owner's expense. Such signs shall be of sufficient size, legibility and location, with reference to the vehicle subject to tow, as to reasonably provide notice that defined unauthorized parking will result in removal of said vehicle at the owner's expense.
C. For a wrecker owner or operator to fail to notify the Taylorsville police department with respect to all nonconsent, nonpolice generated tows immediately upon arrival at an impound or storage yard. (Ord. 12-08, 5-2-2012)
