Tow truck operators working in unincorporated Miami-Dade must obtain a Wrecker Operator Permit from the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources under Chapter 30A, and rates are capped on the county's published tow rate schedule.
Miami-Dade Chapter 30A regulates wrecker and towing operations. Each operator needs a permit from the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER), background-checked drivers, and a posted storage facility. Maximum non-consent towing rates are set on the county's tow rate schedule and updated annually; charging above the cap is a violation. Operators must accept credit cards, allow vehicle owners 24/7 retrieval of personal property, and provide itemized receipts. Florida Statute 715.07 governs trespass towing notice requirements and limits storage charges. MDPD enforces predatory-towing complaints.
Charging above the rate schedule, refusing card payment, or towing without proper signage triggers fines up to $500 per offense and possible permit revocation under Chapter 30A.
