Is private property towing legal in Missouri?
Yes, when done right. Missouri's private-property towing statute (RSMo 304.157) sets three paths: a vehicle abandoned on owner-occupied residential property of 4 units or fewer can be towed once police are notified and 10 hours pass; on any other private property, once police are notified and 96 hours pass; or, if the lot has compliant signage, no wait or notification is required at all. Signs must be at least 17 by 22 inches with 1-inch lettering, state that vehicles are removed at the owner's expense, and disclose the maximum towing and storage fee plus a phone number for the vehicle's location. Towing in violation of this statute is a class C misdemeanor. We follow it on every property we patrol.
Do you work with HOAs?
Yes. HOAs are our most common private-property client. We audit the existing signage, update the parking rules with the board, and set a patrol schedule that fits the community. Board members do not make the call, our dispatchers do, per the agreed rules. That keeps the board out of personal liability.
