(a) Not more than seventy-two (72) hours after impoundment of any vehicle, the supervisor
of impound and towing, or the designee thereof, shall mail a notice to the registered
owner of the vehicle, as may be disclosed by the vehicle license number, if such be
obtainable, and to any other person, including lienholders, who claims the right to
possession of the vehicle, if such a claim is known. The notice shall be mailed to
the registered owner at the address provided by the Motor Vehicle Division of the
Minnesota Department of Public Safety or the corresponding agency of any other state
or province. If the person mailing the notice has reason to believe that an owner,
or one who claims to be an owner, is residing or in custody at some different address,
a copy of the notice shall also be mailed or personally delivered to such owner or
claimant in a manner designed, as nearly as may be practicable, to give actual notice
to him or her. The notice shall contain the full particulars of the impoundment, redemption,
and opportunity for a hearing to test the propriety of the impoundment as hereinafter
provided. If a vehicle is redeemed prior to the mailing of notice, then notice need
not be mailed. Saturdays, Sundays and city holidays are to be excluded from the calculation
of the seventy-two-hour period.
(b)
Similar notice shall be given to each person who seeks to redeem an impounded vehicle
by posting in a conspicuous place at the impound lot a sign describing redemption
procedures. (84-Or-064, § 5, 4-13-84; 2011-Or-087, § 4, 9-23-11)
