The City of Charlotte Park It! program has authority to tow illegally parked vehicles.
When a parking agent discovers a vehicle parked illegally, the following procedures are followed:
|
|
- The agent writes a ticket for the current violation and requests a wrecker to tow the vehicle.
- Once the wrecker arrives, the driver of the wrecker makes the decision on the tow fee amount. Tow fees vary depending on the type of truck and tools used in the tow.
- The customer is charged for the ticket that caused the tow, any outstanding, unpaid and overdue parking tickets for a period of 90 days and any associated tow fees due the wrecker company.
- A sticker is placed on each towed vehicle. The sticker includes the citation number, the reason for the tow and how to appeal the citation.
|
|
A sticker is placed on the meter adjacent to where the towed vehicle was parked. The sticker includes the reason for the tow, license tag of the towed vehicle, how to appeal the citation and the address and phone number of the wrecker company holding the vehicle. If the vehicle was not parked at a meter, the sticker will be attached to a nearby object.
