§ 39.90. Violations; Presumption; Jurisdiction.

If a towing or immobilization service, its owner, operator, driver, or representative, is found guilty in a court of law of any violation of this towing and immobilization ordinance, regardless of adjudication, or found by the City's Code Enforcement Board to be in violation of a total of three (3) or more provisions of this towing and immobilization ordinance, within a two-year period or less of the first finding of violation, it shall constitute a presumption that the towing or immobilization service's operation within the City of Orlando is contrary to public policy or the welfare of the City. Such determination may be the basis for the Chief Administrative Officer or designee to initiate proceedings to revoke the towing or immobilization service's occupational license. Any towing or immobilization service owner or operator whose occupational license has been revoked shall not be eligible to receive an occupational license for towing or immobilization for a minimum period of one (1) year from the date of the revocation of license. It shall be unlawful for an existing towing or immobilization service to change the name of the business or corporate entity to obtain a new or additional occupational license for the purpose of circumventing the intent of this section. Any such determination by the Chief Administrative Officer, or designee or the Code Enforcement Board, shall constitute a violation of this section. Appeal of the revocation of license shall be as provided in section 39.94 of the Orlando City Code.
