Is private property towing legal in Illinois?
Yes, when it is done right, and Illinois is unusually specific about what right means. Under 625 ILCS 5/18a a private-property tow is a relocation, performed only by a commercial vehicle relocator licensed by the Illinois Commerce Commission in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Will and Winnebago counties. The property has to post a sign at least 24 inches high by 36 inches wide, mounted at least 4 feet but less than 8 feet off the ground, illuminated or painted with reflective paint or both, naming the relocator and stating the towing charge. Removing a vehicle from a property without those signs is unlawful. The relocator has to notify local police within one hour of the removal, cannot take the vehicle more than 10 air miles from where it was parked, or 15 from an unincorporated area, and cannot charge above the rates the Commission sets.
Do you work with HOAs?
Yes. HOAs are the most common private-property client. The operator audits the existing signage, updates the parking rules with the board, and sets a patrol schedule that fits the community. Board members do not make the call, the operator does, per the agreed rules. That keeps the board out of personal liability.
