California Vehicle Code 22658 Violations

Private parking operators must strictly comply with CVC 22658 requirements: proper signage (17x22 inches minimum, 1-inch lettering), written authorization from property owner present at tow, notification to police within 60 minutes.

Legal basis

California Vehicle Code § 22658

Sample appeal wording

I am contesting this private parking citation/tow on the grounds that the operator violated California Vehicle Code § 22658: □ Signage was not 17x22 inches minimum as required by CVC § 22658(a)(1) □ Signage lettering was less than 1 inch in height □ Signage did not include required telephone numbers □ Property owner or authorized agent was not present to verify violation as required by CVC § 22658(l)(1) □ Tow company failed to notify law enforcement within 60 minutes as required by CVC § 22658(m) □ Written authorization did not contain all required information per CVC § 22658(l)(1)(B) Under CVC § 22658(e)(1), the owner is liable for double the storage or towing charges for failure to comply. I request dismissal and/or refund of all charges paid.
