Ordinance 19-07 updates the maximum fees authorized towing services may charge when performing City-initiated tows. At present, the City permits a maximum towing fee of $55 for daytime towing, $65 for nighttime towing, $25 for dollying, $10 or $15 per day of storage (depending on whether or not the vehicle is wrecked), and a $15 night retrieval charge. These maximum permissible fees have remained unchanged since 2001 and therefore have fallen out of line with the maximum permissible fees utilized by all other government agencies in Monroe County. Ordinance 19-07 updates and simplifies permissible maximum towing fees by authorizing a $125 base towing fee regardless of the time the tow is initiated, maintaining the existing $25 dollying fee, and updating permissible storage fees to $25 per day regardless of whether or not the towed vehicle is wrecked.
