This is a one-time service. The County expects that customers will endeavor to restrict access and implement a process so that vehicles do not accumulate on their property.

The County has the right to limit how many vehicles and vehicle types that are towed from a property.

Funding is limited and there is no guarantee of service. Approved applicants will be placed on a waiting list if funding is exhausted before service.
