Parking Enforcement in California: What Private Property Owners Need to Know

Unauthorized parking on private property is a serious issue for property managers, HOAs, and business owners across California. Beyond the frustration, it creates liability concerns and can drive away legitimate customers or residents. Understanding your rights and options under California law is the first step to solving the problem.

Your Rights Under California Vehicle Code

California Vehicle Code Section 22658 gives private property owners the right to have unauthorized vehicles removed at the owner's expense. However, there are strict rules about signage, documentation, and the towing process that must be followed to avoid liability. Working with a licensed parking enforcement agency ensures full compliance.

Proper Signage Is Required

Before any vehicle can be legally towed from private property in California, proper signage must be posted at all entrances. Signs must meet specific requirements including minimum dimensions, font size, and language. Our team can advise you on whether your current signage meets California legal standards.
