Private Property Towing in Hamilton: What to Check

Before requesting a private property tow in Hamilton, check the City's parking enforcement procedure for the property. Requirements depend on the site and circumstances. A general warning sign is not a substitute for confirming the process.

Hamilton's published parking guidance

The City describes a private property parking enforcement program and identifies who can act as an owner or authorized agent. Its signage guidance includes exceptions for some small residential properties and other property types. For residential buildings with three or more dwelling units, the City directs owners to the parking office for signage and authorization information. Consult Hamilton's current private property parking guidance.

Before asking for removal

• Identify the exact address and type of property.
• Confirm your authority to request enforcement.
• Ask which signs, forms and officer involvement apply.
• Record the vehicle and parking location without confrontation.
• Confirm how the owner will locate the vehicle after removal.

When a vehicle blocks access

Describe the obstruction accurately to the appropriate authority. Explain whether it affects an entrance, loading space or emergency access. Do not move the vehicle yourself or assume that every obstruction follows the same procedure.

If you are the vehicle owner

Contact the property manager and the City's parking office to ask who authorized the tow and where the vehicle is stored. Keep your parking permission, receipts, photographs and the paperwork supplied for the removal. If you dispute the action, ask which review process applies.

Arrange assistance with the correct information

For a towing enquiry, share the address and any instructions already provided by enforcement. View private property towing services. Availability and the required process must be confirmed for the location.
