Got towed in Sarasota?
Florida doesn't license tow companies or storage lots statewide, so there's no state list of impound lots. Start with the phone number on the tow-away sign where you parked, or the police non-emergency line: a private-property tower has to tell the police within 30 minutes of towing a car.
- The storage lot generally has to be within 10 miles of where you were towed (15 miles in counties under 500,000 people).
- Once you ask for the car, the lot has to release it within 1 hour, and you can inspect it before you accept it.
- If you catch the tow before the truck leaves, they have to give the car back for no more than half the posted towing rate.
- There's no storage fee if the car was held less than 6 hours, and the lot must take at least two kinds of payment (for example cash and a card).

Sarasota questions
How many junkyards are in Sarasota?
5 licensed salvage motor vehicle dealers list a street address in Sarasota, and 14 more are within about 30 miles. Search your ZIP above to see the closest ones by distance.
Can I junk a car in Sarasota without a title?
Only if it qualifies as a "derelict" vehicle under Florida law: at least 10 model years old and worth under $1,000, sold to a licensed salvage dealer or registered metals recycler. You fill out a derelict vehicle form with the dealer and show a valid driver license or ID. Otherwise, get a duplicate title ($75.25). See our Florida no-title guide.
My car was towed in Sarasota. Where is it?
Call the number on the tow-away sign or the police non-emergency line. Florida requires a private-property tower to notify the police within 30 minutes, and the storage lot generally has to be within 10 miles of where the car was towed (15 miles in smaller counties).
What can a tow company charge in Sarasota?
Florida doesn't set one statewide price cap. Towers have to file their rates with local law enforcement and post them at the storage lot, and cities and counties can regulate them. Anything above the posted rate sheet is considered unreasonable under state law. See towed in Florida.
