               Except as set forth in <a href="" data-chunk-id="COOR_CH9OFMIPR_ARTIVJUCAOR_S9-80EXPRNORE" class="section-link" data-product-id="12419">section 9-80</a> below, an abandoned, nuisance, or junked vehicle that is to be removed shall be towed
               only after notice to the registered owner or person(s) entitled to possession of the
               vehicle. Notice shall be given by affixing a notice on the windshield or some other
               conspicuous place on the vehicle. The notice shall state that the county will remove
               the vehicle on a specified date, no sooner than seven days after the notice is affixed
               or mailed, unless the owner or legal possessor moves the vehicle prior to that time.
               In the case of a nuisance vehicle or a junked vehicle, if the names and mailing addresses
               of the registered owner or person entitled to the possession of the vehicle, or the
               owner, lessee, or occupant of the real property upon which the vehicle is located
               can be ascertained in the exercise of reasonable diligence, the notice shall be given
               by first class mail. The person who mails the notice(s) shall retain a written record
               to show the name(s) and address(es) to which mailed and the date mailed.

               With respect to abandoned vehicles on private property, nuisance vehicles and junked
               vehicles to which notice is required to be given, if the registered owner or person
               entitled to possession does not remove the vehicle but chooses to appeal the determination
               that the vehicle is abandoned, a nuisance vehicle or in the case of a junked vehicle
               that the aesthetic benefits of removing the vehicle outweigh the burdens, such appeal
               shall be made to the board of adjustment in writing prior to the applicable date of
               abatement and heard at the earliest regularly scheduled meeting of the board of adjustment.
