The Basics – Private property towing is the removal of illegally parked or abandoned vehicles from privately owned property. This can occur in residential driveways, commercial parking lots that have posted “No Parking” signage or unmarked private parking lots. Car towing might occur on private property for a few reasons. Towing is common because the vehicle will be parked illegally according to “No Parking” signs on the property.

If the parking lot has clear signage, the car can be towed immediately. If a vehicle is in violation of parking rules it will be towed from private property. This can include parking in handicap spaces, in the fire lane or obstructing traffic. In some jurisdictions, cars that have outstanding parking tickets can be towed by police without warning. 

How To Tow Off Your Private Property:

If you own a residential or commercial property and need to remove an illegally parked or abandoned car, there are a few steps you should take.

• Ensure your parking lot has clear and visible signage. This will help deter people from parking in the lot and make them aware that it is illegal to park there.
• ONLY call the police if you suspect something illegal. They will investigate the vehicle, issue a citation and even have the car towed. This is helpful because it creates a paper trail and excuses you from towing liability.

If you need the car towed immediately, you can also hire Statewide Wrecker towing to remove the car from your property. In order to legally tow and impound a vehicle off of private property, companies like ours must be properly licensed and certified with a private property towing operator’s license. Hiring a reliable and licensed company before removing a vehicle is important.
