Logan, UT Business Licensing & Operations: Towing Companies (2026)

Section 10.52.285 (Regulation Of Private Booting And Towing Practices) defines nonconsensual towing as the towing of a vehicle without the prior consent of the owner or at the request of law enforcement. Anyone engaged in commercial towing operations inside Logan City must be certified by the Utah department of transportation as a towing company, and the city can revoke or suspend the business license of any towing company that fails to obtain or maintain that certification. Towing and parking enforcement operations also need a Logan City business license. The exception in subsection B is for parking regulations established by a college or university under title 53B, chapter 3, Utah Code Annotated.

The license application asks for the names and addresses of each officer, partner, member and registered agent, a copy of the state certification, a current schedule of fees, and copies of contracts with property owners. It also needs a criminal history report dated no more than one hundred eighty (180) days before the application for the applicant and all employees. Convictions or pending charges for felony homicide, abuse or exploitation of a minor, sale or distribution of a controlled substance, or sexual assault of any kind bar employment.
