Towing in Virginia: the published maximums and your rights
The numbers live at the county or city layer in this state; the state writes the rights.
Rules checked October 2026
Va. Code §46.2-1231 et seq.; locality rate ordinances
The state's shape
Many Virginia localities publish maximum charges by ordinance; the state licenses operators and the Board for Towing and Recovery Operators takes complaints.
Kickbacks
U.S. PIRG's state survey (2022) found no law here banning kickbacks to property owners for private-property tows. If money changed hands behind your tow, that fact still belongs in your complaint.
Who takes the complaint
Virginia Board for Towing and Recovery Operators.
