   33  towing or immobilization of vehicles as described in paragraph
   34  (b), the county’s ordinance does shall not apply within such
   35  municipality. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
   36  maximum rate or fee that may be charged for the immobilization
   37  of vehicles on public and private property is $25. However, the
   38  provisions of this paragraph do not apply to the immobilization

   48  transportation, taxicab, or port rates, rates for towing of
   49  vehicles from or immobilization of vehicles on private property,
   50  rates for immobilization of vehicles on public and private
   51  property, or rates for removal and storage of wrecked or
