Whenever it shall appear that a citation for a violation of this article has become
final and unappealable, the code enforcement officer or the county sheriff, shall
give, or cause to be given, written notice to the registered owner of any vehicle
which is in violation of this article, and shall give such notice to the owner or
person in lawful possession or control of the private property upon which such vehicle
violates the provisions of this article and directing that such vehicle be moved to
a place of lawful storage within seven (7) days from the date of such notice. Such
notice may be served upon the registered owner of the vehicle by certified mail return
receipt requested, addressed to such owner at the last known address of record of
the department of motor vehicles. Notice to the owner or person in lawful possession
or control of the property upon which such vehicle is located may be personally served,
or be served by certified mail return receipt requested, if such owner or occupant
cannot be found upon such property. Such certified mail shall be addressed to the
owner of such property according to the last county property appraiser's rolls and
a copy of such notice shall be conspicuously posted upon the premises, or as close
thereto on adjoining public property or public or private easement or right-of-way
as practicable.
