vehicle towing rates; regulation

SB 1127 regulates private towing companies in Arizona by allowing cities and towns (not counties) to set maximum towing rates for vehicles towed from private property within their boundaries. Property owners must post clear, standardized signs detailing parking rules, towing costs, and how to retrieve vehicles, with specific size, content, and placement requirements. Towing companies cannot tow without the property owner’s written consent or a police request, must provide itemized receipts, and cannot charge more than the set rate - overcharges require reimbursement. Violations may result in fines, and towing companies face double damages for intentional violations of the law.
