Omaha, NE Business Licensing & Operations: Towing Companies (2026)

Omaha Municipal Code § 20-163 makes it unlawful to tow a vehicle from private property without the owner's, lessee's, or authorized operator's consent unless the tow conforms to Nebraska's non-consent towing statutes (R.R.S. §§ 60-2401 through 60-2411), including required signage and notice before and after the tow. The tow operator and the property owner, tenant, or agent who ordered the tow are jointly responsible for compliance. A non-consensual tow is capped at $150 per vehicle plus a $25 administrative fee, and storage is capped at $15 per day (no daily charge for days the lot isn't open at least four hours). Operators must give an itemized receipt and release noncompliant tows to the rightful owner.
