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

08 makes it unlawful to conduct a towing or parking enforcement operation within the city without a Provo business license, unless the operation is authorized by the Provo Police Department. A carrier with a place of business in Provo must hold the city license; a carrier already licensed by another Utah county or municipality does not need a separate Provo license but must file its name, address, current fee schedule, driver roster, and tow truck descriptions with the Provo Business License Office. 040 conditions the license on continuously maintaining a $1,000 surety bond, $25,000 in property damage liability insurance, secure fenced or enclosed vehicle storage within city limits, current Utah DOT driver certification cards, readable business-name signage on every tow truck door, and employee ID readable from six feet.

06. 110: a tow operator who removes a vehicle without the owner's knowledge must report it to Provo Police Dispatch within one hour, and the towing or parking-enforcement business's total fees for a nonconsent, non-police tow cannot exceed 80% of the maximum fee Utah State Code and Utah Administrative Code Rule 909-19-13 allow for the tow truck fee, first-day storage, fuel surcharge, administrative fee, and after-hours fee combined. Every towed vehicle subject to non-consensual towing must go to a storage lot located within Provo city limits that complies with state law.
