               Except as set forth in <a href="" data-chunk-id="COOR_CH30EN_ARTIVABJUVE_S30-187EXPRNORE" class="section-link" data-product-id="13953">section 30-187</a>, an abandoned, nuisance or junked vehicle which is to be removed, shall be towed
               or removed only after notice to the registered owner or person entitled to possession
               of the vehicle. In the case of a nuisance vehicle or a junked motor 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 shall
               retain a written record to show the name and address to which mailed and the date
               mailed. If such names and addresses cannot be ascertained or if the vehicle to be
               removed is an abandoned motor vehicle, notice shall be given by affixing on the windshield
               or some other conspicuous place on the vehicle a notice indicating that the vehicle
               will be removed by the county on a specified date. A notice will also be affixed to
               the door of the residence or place of business that the vehicle is located. The notices
               shall state that the vehicle will be removed by the county on a specific date, no
               sooner than 14 days after the notice is affixed or mailed, unless the vehicle is moved
               by the owner or legal possessor prior to that time.

               With respect to abandoned vehicles on private property, nuisance vehicles and junked
               motor 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 motor vehicle, that the aesthetic benefits of removing the vehicle outweigh
               the burdens, such appeal shall be made, in writing, to the board of commissioners,
               heard at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the board, and further proceedings
               to remove the vehicle shall be stayed until the appeal is heard and decided.
