Tow operators removing vehicles within Wichita must hold a city tow license, follow posted rate caps for non-consent tows, store vehicles at approved lots, and notify owners and the Wichita Police Department promptly.
Wichita regulates non-consent towing, including private-property impounds and police rotation tows, under Chapter 11 and related city ordinances. Operators must register vehicles and drivers, carry liability insurance, observe maximum allowable rates for hookup, mileage, and storage, and store towed vehicles at licensed yards with reasonable retrieval hours. Within a short window, the towing company must report the impound to Wichita Police so owners can locate vehicles. Predatory or unauthorized towing is a frequent enforcement target.
Civil fines, license revocation, and potential refunds to vehicle owners for overcharges or unauthorized non-consent tows.
