Towed from your apartment complex in Nebraska

Signs must be readily visible and state who may park, the restricted hours and who to contact about a towed vehicle.

Checked Nov 15, 2026 against the Nebraska statute and regulator pages.

What to do now

  1. Call the property office or check the tow-away sign at the lot entrance. It must name the tow company and its phone number in most states.
  2. Call the tow company to confirm they have the car, the address of the storage lot and the total due.
  3. Photograph the signs, your permit or sticker and where you were parked before anything changes.
  4. Get your car out quickly. Storage is charged by the day.
  5. Ask for an itemized receipt and compare it to your state limits.
  6. If the tow broke your lease or the state rules, write to the property manager and request a hearing if your state offers one.

Nebraska rules that matter here

Tow-away signs

Signs must be readily visible and state who may park, the restricted hours and who to contact about a towed vehicle.1

Notice

For private-lot tows the tower must tell local police the license number within 24 hours. Within 15 business days it must send a certified letter to the owner and any lienholder with the tower's contact details, the tow date and the storage fees so far.28

Drop fee release

If you ask before your car is fully attached to the tow truck, the tower must unhook it. The law does not say whether a fee can be charged for this.6

Personal belongings

The towing and storage lien does not cover the contents of the vehicle. The tower and storage lot are liable for foreseeable damage to the car and its contents.58

Hearing to contest the tow

Nebraska's private-lot towing law (sections 60-2401 to 60-2411) has no hearing process for contesting a tow.810

Payment

The law says the car must be returned once the charges are paid, but it does not say which forms of payment must be accepted.8

Questions

Can my apartment tow my car without warning?

In many states yes, if proper tow-away signs are posted at each entrance. Some states and leases require a warning sticker first for things like expired tags. Check your state rules and your lease.

Who do I call if my car was towed from my apartment?

Start with the tow company named on the posted sign or the property office. In Houston and Harris County you can also search FindMyTowedCar. Police usually get a report of private tows within a few hours.
