Manassas, Va. Establishes Towing Ordinance Advisory Board

In Manassas, Va., the City Council established a towing ordinance advisory board for the city that will regulate the removal or restraint of vehicles parked on private property. The owners or managers in charge of any property with an unauthorized vehicle on the premises can report to this board to remove the vehicle. 

Like its counterpart in Prince William County, the advisory board will also set fees charged for removing vehicles left on private property. The city currently contracts with local law enforcement and local towing companies for vehicle removal and storage. 

The board will consist of three members, one from the Manassas City Police Department who will be appointed by the chief of police, a representative of the local towing companies, and a member of the public. All board members will serve a term of four years, with the chair position rotating among its members on an annual basis.
