Towing Issues: towing a car parked on private property-suspended registration, unlicensed vehicles, expired registration


Question
Can a private towing company tow my vehicle that is parked legally in my carport with expired registration?

Answer
Ah, I really would love to answer this question with specific answers,  BUT key information is missing.

First of all you did not tell me what city or state you are in, and that can affect the answer big time.

Now, another factor is if you live in a "home owner association" development, as they can have specific bylaws or regulations.

But in some apartment and condo complexes there are provisions in the lease - rental agreements regarding "unlicensed vehicles"


So I really have no solid answer for you but I can tell you that it does happen and in some cases the city has regulations which prohibit unlicensed vehicles, and the reason is that if the vehicle is unlicensed then there are no taxes being paid to the City, County or State...


Hope this helps
