23-1105A

Ordinance amending the Pinellas County Code, Chapter 122, related to

the County Towing Ordinance.

Recommendation:

Conduct a public hearing and adopt the proposed amendments to the

County Towing Ordinance revising County Code sections 122-38,

122-40, and 122-42, adjusting the maximum tow rate schedule,

clarifying definitions, and updating agency contact information and

As part of a proposed three-year review cycle of the towing

ordinance Consumer Protection (CP) has reviewed existing tow

rates and language and recommends adjustments to enable the

industry to remain competitive while balancing possible impact to

consumers.

Feedback was received from towing industry representatives, law

enforcement partners, and the Board of County Commissioners

(Board) as part of the review.

The proposed amendments:

a.) Adjust towing rates including base towing rates, mileage rates,

and administrative fees. Daily storage and labor fee

adjustments are also included for some vehicle classes.

b.) Adjust debit and credit card merchant fees.

c.) Clarify definition language throughout the ordinance.

d.) Update the contact information for Consumer Protection.

e.) Provide clarification on charges for towing motor vehicles

carrying other vehicles.

f.) Require towing agreements to include start/end dates and

language which defines the terms and renewal process for the

agreement.

g.) Require tow operators to maintain records on-site.

Human Services anticipates that this proposed ordinance change

will require no additional staff time or fiscal impact. This

ordinance brings in no additional revenue to the County.

These ordinance updates were reviewed with the Board during

their Board’s Workshop on April 20, 2023.

The fees proposed in this amendment are Professional Wreckers

of Florida, Inc. recommended increases submitted for

consideration and are in line with adjustments and rates found for

tow would increase by approximately 19%.

decide on the matter. Public Hearings before the Board are governed by the provisions of Section 134 -14 of

code provides that at the conclusion of each person’s presentation, any speaker may seek the Chairman’s

permission to ask questions of staff.

Specifically:

seek the Chairman’s permission to ask questions of or seek clarification from the applicant and/or the

permission to ask questions of or seek clarification from any opponent.
