  1. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 3 and 4, the owner or person in lawful possession of any real property may, after giving notice pursuant to subsection 2, utilize the services of any tow car operator subject to the jurisdiction of the Nevada Transportation Authority to remove any vehicle parked in an unauthorized manner on that property to the nearest public garage or storage yard if:  (a) A sign is displayed in plain view on the property declaring public parking to be prohibited or restricted in a certain manner; and  (b) The sign shows the telephone number of the police department or sheriff’s office.  2. Unless notice has been provided pursuant to NRS 706.4477, oral notice must be given to the police department or sheriff’s office, whichever is appropriate, indicating:  (a) The time the vehicle was removed;  (b) The location from which the vehicle was removed; and  (c) The location to which the vehicle was taken.  3. Any vehicle which is parked in a space designated for persons with disabilities and is not properly marked for such parking may be removed if notice is given to the police department or sheriff’s office pursuant to subsection 2, whether or not a sign is displayed pursuant to subsection 1.  4. The owner or person in lawful possession of residential real property upon which a single-family dwelling is located may, after giving notice pursuant to subsection 2, utilize the services of any tow car operator subject to the jurisdiction of the Nevada Transportation Authority to remove any vehicle parked in an unauthorized manner on that property to the nearest public garage or storage yard, whether or not a sign is displayed pursuant to subsection 1.  5. All costs incurred under the provisions of this section for the towing, storage and disposition of the vehicle, as applicable, must be borne by the owner of the vehicle, as that term is defined in NRS 484A.150.  6. The provisions of this section do not limit or affect any rights or remedies which the owner or person in lawful possession of real property may have by virtue of other provisions of the law authorizing the removal of a vehicle parked on that property.  7. If the owner or person in lawful possession of real property and the tow operator agree that the vehicle is likely to be ultimately disposed of as an abandoned vehicle and that the estimated disposition value of a vehicle to be towed pursuant to this section is less than the estimated cost for the towing, storage and disposal of the vehicle, the owner or person in lawful possession of real property and the tow operator may enter into an agreement whereby the owner or person in lawful possession of real property makes a voluntary payment to the tow operator. Such a payment:  (a) Does not reduce the costs incurred by the owner of the vehicle pursuant to subsection 5.  (b) May not be a condition for the towing of the vehicle.
