§ 21-18.5. Storage and towing fees and related notification costs.

Latest version.

(a)

All storage and towing fees and related notification costs incurred by the town or imposed upon the owner of the vehicle or his agent as a result of its towing-in and impoundment shall constitute a lien upon such vehicle. The vehicle may not be released until these costs have been paid or until the owner or his agent has posted the appropriate bond under this article, unless the hearing official conducting a hearing under section 21-18.4 determines that no probable cause to tow and impound the vehicle exists.

(b)

In the event any vehicle towed under the provisions of this article is not returned to the owner following a hearing, or as a result of fees and charges being paid, the town may proceed to sell or otherwise dispose of said vehicle as authorized by N.C.G.S. Sec. 160A-303(d)(2)(e).
