Upon such notification to the registrar, an additional charge of $20 payable to the registrar but collected by the City of Salem, and an additional charge of $20 payable to and collected by the City of Salem shall be assessed against the registered owner of said motor vehicle. It shall be the duty of the parking clerk to notify the registrar forthwith that such case has been so disposed; provided, however, that certified receipt of full and final payment from the parking clerk of the city or state agency or authority issuing such violation shall also serve as legal notice to the registrar that said violation has been disposed of in accordance with law. The certified receipt shall be printed in such form as the registrar of motor vehicles may approve.

No vehicle shall be removed, stored, or otherwise immobilized until and unless the owner of such motor vehicle shall have received 5 days notification by mail that such motor vehicle may be removed, stored, or immobilized without further notification.
