Is private property towing legal in Tennessee?
Yes, when done right. Tennessee law (Tenn. Code Ann. § 55-16-112) requires a garagekeeper or towing firm to get express written authorization to tow or store a vehicle - from a law-enforcement officer with jurisdiction, the vehicle owner, or the property owner or their authorized agent - before a private-property tow is valid. Towing without that authorization is a Class C misdemeanor. Separately, § 55-16-111 sets Tennessee's baseline waiting period: a vehicle generally can't be towed without owner authorization until 12 hours have passed since it was first observed immobile or unattended, unless it's creating a hazard, blocking access, or parked illegally, in which case an immediate tow is allowed. We follow both rules 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.
