The public access hours at the impound lot are 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. seven days a week. Come to the front desk at Headquarters or South District Station (addresses shown above) during these hours with as much of the following information as possible:

• Case number
• All tickets that were issued to you (if any were issued)
• Date, time, and exact location from which vehicle was towed
• Proof of ownership (notarized bill of sale or title)
• Proof of current registration
• Valid driver's license or picture identification (a valid licensed driver must be present)
• Enough cash to pay the impound fee at the tow facility (for passenger vehicles under ¾ ton, the fee is $49.61 for the tow and $16.54 a day for storage)

Service representatives will locate the Vehicle Impound Report. If the vehicle is releasable, you will be required to sign the Vehicle Impound Report and then directed to the impound lot to pay the fee and pick up your vehicle. Personal property will remain with the vehicle and cannot be released without the vehicle being released.

If there is a "hold" or "vehicle forfeiture" placed on the vehicle, or you wish to protest the tow, you will be directed to the appropriate department for further information.
