Is private property towing legal in Virginia?
Yes, when done right. Virginia law (Va. Code § 46.2-1231) requires clear signage at every lot entrance naming the towing company and posting the local law-enforcement non-emergency number, immediate notification of police when a vehicle is removed, and a comprehensive list of fees displayed at the main office and the recovery site. Virginia caps what any company can charge for a nonconsensual private-property tow: a statewide maximum of $210 for the initial hookup, plus up to a $30 after-hours or weekend surcharge, capped at two such fees, and no storage charge for the first 24 hours. Localities can set their own lower caps by ordinance, and Richmond, Henrico, and Chesterfield each do. No operator may charge outside the applicable schedule.
Do you work with HOAs?
Yes. HOAs are the most common private-property client. The operator audits the existing signage, the parking rules get updated with the board, and a patrol schedule is set to fit the community. Board members do not make the call - the operator does, per the agreed rules. That keeps the board out of personal liability.
