Fresno tow operators must register with FPD, hold California Highway Patrol carrier permits, post maximum non-consensual tow rates, and follow CVC Section 22658 for trespass tows from private property.
California Vehicle Code Section 22658 governs non-consensual tows from private property, capping fees, requiring posted signage, and mandating release procedures. Fresno requires tow operators on the FPD rotation list to maintain insurance, secure storage, and 24/7 release windows. Operators must accept credit cards under state law and provide itemized receipts. Predatory towing complaints are investigated by FPD. Storage rates are capped per CHP-approved schedules.
Towing without proper signage, charging above maximum rates, or refusing release violates CVC §22658 and exposes operators to treble damages and license revocation.
