Private Property Towing
Whether it’s a vehicle blocking a reserved space, an unauthorized car taking up valuable customer parking, or someone ignoring posted signs, private property towing helps enforce the rules and keep your lot clear. JJ Hogan Towing provides professional, legal, and reliable private property towing services for property owners and managers across Danville and the surrounding areas.
What Is Private Property Towing?
Private property towing is the removal of vehicles from privately owned land without the owner’s consent, but under lawful authority. This type of towing applies to businesses, apartment complexes, HOAs, and even single-family residences. The vehicle may be blocking access, parked improperly, or violating posted restrictions — and it can be towed once the legal requirements are met.
Our team handles every tow with care, ensuring property owners are protected and vehicle owners are treated fairly under Virginia law.
When Do You Need It?
You may need private property towing services if:
Vehicles are parked without permission in your business lot, lot for tenants, or HOA-managed roads.
A customer, visitor, or unknown vehicle is occupying reserved or clearly marked spaces.
Cars are left for extended periods in fire lanes, blocking entrances, or creating a safety issue.
Your property has become a regular target for overnight or abandoned parking.
You’re receiving complaints from tenants, neighbors, or other property users.
Whether it’s one vehicle or an ongoing issue, we’ll help you restore order quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I request a tow any time, day or night?
A: Yes. Our private property towing service is available 24/7. As long as legal requirements are met, we can respond whenever you need us.
Q: Do I need signs posted before I can tow a car?
A: In most cases, yes. Virginia law requires that certain signage be posted to tow from private property. We can walk you through what’s needed and help you get compliant if you’re not already.
Q: Will I be charged for calling a tow?
A: No. Private property tows that follow proper legal procedures are charged to the vehicle owner, not the property manager or business owner.
Q: Can tenants or customers be towed?
A: Yes, but it’s always best to follow internal procedures (like notices or warnings) before requesting a tow for someone with an existing relationship to the property. We’ll help you handle each case responsibly.
Q: What if someone comes outside while the vehicle is being towed?
A: Our drivers follow legal guidelines and safety procedures. In some cases, the vehicle can be released on-site if towing hasn’t started. If not, we’ll refer them to our impound lot for recovery.
