Bryan, TX Business Licensing & Operations: Towing Companies (2026)

Bryan requires any towing company to hold a city permit before engaging in nonconsent tows on a street. To qualify, a company pays a $200 annual permit fee, licenses each tow truck operator and vehicle storage facility (VSF) employee for $15 apiece, maintains an independently operated VSF within eight miles of the city limits, keeps at least one certified tow truck meeting an 8,000-pound lifting capacity with power-assisted booster brakes, and carries garage keeper's liability and on-hook cargo insurance. The police chief administers the permit and the nonconsent rotation list; permits run one year from February 1, with applications due by December 1.
