It shall be unlawful for any person to park or leave standing any motor vehicle upon any privately owned land, parking lot, or driveway, after notice has been posted as hereinafter provided by the owner, occupant, lessee or licensee, prohibiting, restricting, or limiting such parking, without the express or implied consent of such owner, occupant, lessee or licensee of such land. A suitable sign or signs not less than eighteen (18) inches by twenty-four (24) inches in dimension, and bearing the words "No Parking," together with any qualifications or restrictions on such parking, if any, shall be conspicuously displayed on such land, parking lot or driveway by the owner, occupant, lessee or licensee thereof, where this section is to be effective. Defacing, tampering with or damaging such signs shall constitute a violation of this section. Upon the complaint being made in writing by any such owner, occupant, lessee or licensee, that any such motor vehicle is parked or has been left standing in violation of this section, the chief of police, or any police officer of this city, may remove or cause to be removed such illegally parked vehicle, and impound and store the same, and no such vehicle shall be removed from the police impoundment until its owner shall have paid the costs of removing, impounding and storing such vehicle parked in violation of this section, in addition to any penalty which may be assessed for the violation of this section.
