Tow companies operating in Nassau County must be licensed by the County Office of Consumer Affairs, post tariff schedules, follow NY Vehicle and Traffic Law §1224, and respond only when authorized by NCPD or the property owner.
Nassau County's Office of Consumer Affairs licenses tow operators conducting non-consensual (police-directed or trespass) tows. Licensees must maintain insurance, post fee schedules, accept payment by card, store vehicles at approved facilities, and provide receipts. Trespass tows require posted signage at the property meeting NY VTL §1224 requirements. Predatory towing - chasing crashes, arriving uninvited, or charging above tariff - is a frequent enforcement target. Drivers who believe they were towed wrongfully can file complaints with Consumer Affairs. Repeat violators face license revocation and removal from the NCPD rotation.
Unlicensed towing, exceeding posted tariffs, failing to release a vehicle on payment, refusing card payment, or chasing crashes can result in fines, license revocation, and civil restitution.
