Towed from a private lot (apartment, store)? Private-lot tows go to the tow company's own yard. The lot must have signs with the police phone number, and the property owner must tell police the time of the tow, where it happened, and where the car was taken. At apartment and condo complexes the car usually must get a sticker 48 hours before a tow, and it cannot be towed only for expired registration. Call LVMPD at 702-828-3111 to ask where it went.
Deadline to contest: 21 calendar days from the tow (Nevada rules). How to request a hearing
Police tows in Las Vegas are ordered by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) and go to private contract tow yards, not a city-run lot, with Autura (formerly AutoReturn) used to track them. Private-lot tows go to the tow company's own yard, and the property owner must tell police where the car was taken, so LVMPD can help you find it.

Local rules and how to contest
- If you think a private-lot tow was unlawful, you can file for expedited relief in the justice court of the township where the car was towed from, within 21 days of the tow. The hearing must be held within 7 days of filing.
- That fast-track process applies only while the car is still being stored and the tow and storage bill is 15,000 dollars or less.
- Tow yards must post a sign explaining this right and where to find legal aid help.
- LVMPD contract tow companies must accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover.
Nevada rules that apply
Nevada has no single statewide tow price. Each tow company must charge the rates in its own tariff approved by the Nevada Transportation Authority. State law gives owners strong protections: no storage charge for the first 48 hours on private-property tows, release at the scene, a fast court hearing, and the right to pay by cash or card.
- Drop fee release: If your car is hooked up but still at the scene, the tow company must release it when you ask, for the release fee in its tariff. The fee is waived for an apartment-complex tow over missing registration if you show the car was registered.
- Your belongings: The tow company may not hold personal property from the car as security for its bill or for any reason other than a police direction. It must give the owner access to the car during normal business hours.
- Hearing: If you think a private-property tow was unlawful, you can file for expedited relief in the local justice court within 21 calendar days of the tow. The court must hold a hearing within 7 days of filing. You can also complain to the Nevada Transportation Authority.
