Vehicle Towing and Impoundment Fees

A vehicle that is seized is towed and impounded at the owner's expense. Here are the towing and impoundment fees charged when your vehicle is seized.

The owner of an impounded vehicle must also pay the fees for managing its disposal, should he or she choose not to claim it. For information regarding these fees, see the table “Disposal of an unclaimed impounded vehicle” on the Fees for other services page.
