Information for Vehicle Owners

If your vehicle has been impounded from private property, Tip-Top-Towing follows all applicable Washington Registered Tow Truck Operator (RTTO) requirements and state regulations governing private property impounds. Our goal is to provide a transparent process while ensuring vehicle owners understand their rights and responsibilities.

Vehicle Notification Requirements

Following a private property impound, state law requires notification of both the registered and legal owners of the vehicle.
Within 24 hours of the impound, an official notice is mailed to the registered and legal owners. This notice includes:
  • The reason for the impound
  • The location where the vehicle is being stored
  • Applicable towing and storage charges
  • Information regarding vehicle redemption
  • Instructions regarding hearing rights and contesting the impound
These requirements help ensure vehicle owners are informed as quickly as possible following an impound.

Redeeming Your Vehicle

Vehicle owners have the legal right to redeem their vehicle from our secure storage facility upon satisfying applicable towing, storage, and administrative charges.
To redeem a vehicle, owners may be required to provide:
  • Government-issued identification
  • Proof of ownership or legal authorization
  • Payment of applicable fees
Our staff can explain the redemption process and answer questions regarding required documentation.

Your Right to Request a Hearing

Washington law provides vehicle owners with the right to challenge the validity of a private property impound.

If you believe your vehicle was improperly impounded, you may request a court hearing through the process outlined in your impound notice. The court will determine whether the impound was conducted lawfully and whether applicable fees should be upheld.

Information regarding hearing deadlines and procedures will be included in the official notification mailed to the vehicle owner.

Abandoned Vehicle Timeline

Vehicles that remain unclaimed for 120 consecutive hours after impound may be legally classified as abandoned under Washington law.
Once a vehicle reaches abandoned status:
  • An Abandoned Vehicle Report (AVR) is filed with the Washington Department of Licensing (DOL)
  • The statutory abandoned vehicle process begins
  • A 15-day countdown is initiated before the vehicle becomes eligible for public auction
  • The auction process may be used to satisfy accumulated towing, storage, and administrative liens
Vehicle owners are encouraged to contact us promptly if they believe their vehicle has been impounded.

Personal Property Retrieval

Owners may retrieve personal belongings from their vehicle prior to auction at no charge, subject to applicable procedures and documentation requirements.
Upon request and completion of the necessary forms:
  • Personal property may be removed from the vehicle
  • Retrieved items can be stored securely
  • Personal belongings may be held for up to 30 days
Our team will explain the process and help ensure personal belongings are handled appropriately.
