State rules for towing from private property without the owner of the vehicle agreeing require a few things. The towing company needs an agreement with the property owner or agent and a permit from the Georgia Department of Public Safety. The property must post notice that unauthorized vehicles will be towed. The notice must say where to recover the vehicle, what it costs, and which payments are accepted.
We help you set up a standing agreement and check that your signs meet the rules before we tow. Small residential properties with four or fewer units can be exempt from the posting requirement, and the carrier then needs advance signed authorization instead. State rules also bar towing companies from paying property owners for tows. Property managers in neighborhoods such as the Old Fourth Ward and Downtown Atlanta can call us. Drivers with questions about a tow can read our FAQ page.
Having a car towed is stressful. These are the points that matter most.
The sign at the lot should list the company name and phone number. Call with your license plate and the address where you parked.
DPS sets maximum rates in a statewide tariff based on vehicle weight, and a city may set lower ones. Under that tariff the first 24 hours of storage carry no charge.
Notices must list accepted payment types. The state tariff lists cash, money order, certified check, or cashier check, and lets companies that accept cards do so with no extra charge.
Contact the property owner, your local licensing office, or the Better Business Bureau. DPS publishes a list of permitted towing companies you can check.
Every legal private property tow follows the same order.
Signs at the property tell drivers that unauthorized vehicles will be towed, and what it costs.
The property and the towing company have an agreement in place, and the company holds its state permit.
A vehicle parked without authorization is removed and taken to the storage location printed on the sign.
The owner goes to that location with ID and payment, and picks up the vehicle.
If the property has posted notice that meets state rules and has a towing agreement, yes. Read the signs for rules such as visitor permits and reserved spots.
DPS publishes a list of permitted private property towing companies. You can also ask the company for its permit information.
No. DPS sets maximum rates in a statewide tariff, and a city may set lower maximums for tows within its limits.
