Towing in Los Angeles: the local card
The local layer sits on top of the state layer — where the city or county publishes a lower number, the lower number is the operative maximum.
Rules checked October 2026
Cal. Veh. Code §22658; Los Angeles Police Commission official police garage schedule
Los Angeles publishes its own official police-garage schedule on top of the state comparative cap. No separate LA dollar figure is printed here — the state comparison on this page is the verdict we can stand behind; the city's schedule is posted by the Police Commission.
The state layer
This state's cap is comparative: the lawful charge is measured against an official rate, not a single published number. Full state page: towing in California.
Who takes the complaint
The law-enforcement agency whose rate agreement covers the tower; California Attorney General for patterns.
