Private Property

Private property towing. Done by the book.

Managing a parking lot is harder than it looks in this metro. Louisiana's Towing and Storage Act (La. R.S. 32:1736) governs every step from signage to notice to billing, and the City of New Orleans and Jefferson Parish each layer their own local rules on top of that. We work with property managers, HOAs, retail landlords, and apartment complexes across the metro to enforce parking rules cleanly - no rogue tows, no liability headaches, no customer-facing surprises.

What do homeowners ask about Private Property?

Is private property towing legal in Louisiana?

Yes, when done right. Louisiana law requires a written agreement between property owner and tow company, compliant signage at every entry with lettering at least 2 inches tall naming the company, address, and phone number, and itemized billing invoices. All fees for nonconsensual tows from private property must be uniform and set according to Louisiana Public Service Commission rules - we never charge outside that schedule. The City of New Orleans and Jefferson Parish layer additional local rules on top. We handle all of it in writing.

Do you work with HOAs?

Yes. HOAs are our most common private-property client. We audit the existing signage, update the parking rules with the board, and set a patrol schedule that fits the community. Board members do not make the call - our dispatchers do, per the agreed rules. That keeps the board out of personal liability.

Can I call to tow a specific car in my lot?

If there is a signed property management agreement, yes. The property manager (or a designated contact) calls dispatch, confirms the vehicle and the violation, and we respond. Without an agreement on file, we cannot legally tow from a property we do not patrol.

What if a resident forgets their permit and gets towed?

They pay the release fee at our lot and get the car back, with full paperwork. It is rare - we only tow after the wait time and sign check. If a resident calls in a good-faith mistake (permit in glove box, etc.), we handle releases professionally and document the situation. Property managers can also preauthorize per-vehicle exceptions.

What if my car was already towed by the City of New Orleans, not by you?

That's a different process handled by the city's own Department of Public Works Parking Division, not us. Call (504) 658-8100 to confirm whether your car was towed, or (504) 658-8284 to check the fee balance on a plate. The primary release lot is 400 N. Claiborne Ave, open 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily for vehicle release. We're not affiliated with the city pound, but if you need a ride there or a tow once you retrieve the car, call us.
