Private Property Towing

Private Property Tows

Private Property Towing plays an important role in keeping businesses, residential communities, and commercial lots safe, organized, and accessible. Florida law outlines specific rules that property owners and towing companies must follow to ensure every tow is lawful, clearly communicated, and properly documented.

Unauthorized parking can create safety hazards, block access for customers or residents, and interfere with business operations. Private property towing helps maintain:

• Clear access for emergency vehicles
• Reserved parking for tenants, customers, and employees
• Safe traffic flow
• Compliance with property rules and posted restrictions

Tow Signs

To legally tow a vehicle from private property without the owner’s consent, the property must have proper tow‑away signage posted at every entrance. These signs must include:

• The exact phrase: “Tow‑Away Zone”
• The towing company’s name
• The towing company’s current phone number
• Minimum size: 2 ft x 3 ft
• Lettering at least 1 inch high
• Placement at each driveway or curb cut, clearly visible from the street

These requirements ensure drivers are properly notified before parking and help protect both property owners and towing companies from liability.

What Property Owners Should Know

• Tow‑away signs must be installed before any towing can occur.
• Signs must remain visible, legible, and unobstructed.
• Property owners may request towing for violations such as blocking entrances, parking in reserved spaces, or abandoning vehicles.
• Property owners cannot financially benefit from the removal of a vehicle—only the towing company may charge fees.

What Drivers Should Know

If your vehicle is towed from private property:

• The towing company’s phone number will be listed on the posted sign.
• You have the right to retrieve your vehicle promptly.
• Fees must follow Florida’s regulated rate structure.
