Private property tow
Removing a vehicle from private land at the property owner’s request.
A private property tow — sometimes called a non-consent tow — is the removal of a vehicle from private land by a towing operator instructed by the property, rather than by the vehicle’s owner or by the police.
It is the most heavily regulated thing a property can do about parking, and the rules are set state by state and often city by city: required signage and its wording, notice periods, who may authorize a tow, where the vehicle may be taken, what may be charged, and what notice must be given to the registered owner afterwards. That last notice is normally issued by the towing operator under its own authority, not by the property and not by its software. Any community considering towing should read its own state statute and its municipal ordinance before its first one, not after.
