If you park your car in a tow-away zone, you run the risk of a losing some money. Jasmine Kardani has more in this Bobcat Update.

Parking without permission or without the correct permit may mean a trip to the impound lot is in your future. If that happens to you, you can find out where your car has been towed by calling the number posted on the nearest tow-away sign.

If you return to your vehicle as your car is being hooked up, but not ready to be towed, you can avoid paying a charge. However, if you return to your car and it's fully hooked up, ready for towing, but has not yet left the property, then you may keep your car AFTER paying the drop fee. The statewide maximum drop fee is 125 to 225 dollars depending on the weight of your car. Junior Connor Schwanke says having your car towed is stressful. It can be a hassle getting it back.

When you go to a storage facility, you must provide photo identification, prove ownership of the car or authorized use, and pay the fees associated with the towing and storing. There is a state maximum tow charge for private property towers that ranges from 250 to 900 dollars. Lower rates can be set by municipal or county rule. If you believe your car was wrongfully towed or you were charged more than the state allowed fee, then you may request a hearing with any Justice of the Peace within 14 days of the tow.
