Permitting and Industry Operations

Towing carriers must utilize the PUC online application portal to obtain a new towing permit or renew existing carrier permits. Operators are required to purchase vehicle identification stamps for each tow truck managed under their permit through the designated state electronic form system. Additionally, carriers must adhere to annual data submission requirements under Rule 6503(c), which necessitates submitting operational towing data by February 1 each year for the previous calendar year.

Standardized Documentation and Compliance

The PUC provides standardized forms to facilitate towing operations, including the Property Owner Tow Authorization Form for nonconsensual tows from private property. Carriers are also required to use specific Towed Vehicle Release forms, which allow for vehicle retrieval under defined payment conditions. Business administrative forms are available for carriers needing to update contact information, request a company name change, or formally cancel an existing towing permit.
