What are Richmond Virginia towing laws?

Answer 1

Here is the bottom line on towing laws in Richmond, Virginia. -- If you ask a towing company to tow your vehicle, no regulations apply. -- Property owners may get "trespassing" vehicles towed from their properties. Per City ordinance, there should be a sign telling folks that the parking area is for customers/residents only, and giving a contact phone number to get the car back. If the sign is not there, the parking lot owner can still get trespassing vehicles towed, but there is no fee to the car owner. -- If you park your car using on-street parking, make sure you look signs limiting how long your car can stay, or no parking for street cleaning, etc. But don't leave your car in the same on-street spot for more than ten days, or it might get towed as an abandoned vehicle. -- The City Attorney's Office ((804) 646-7940) can give details.
