Frequently Asked Questions
State law caps a police tow in Troup County at $228 for a standard vehicle, storage at $33 a day, and notification fees at $91 total, and there's no storage charge for the first 24 hours or for any day the lot is closed. An after-hours gate fee can't exceed $65. Errors on the release invoice tend to run in the towing company's favor, so check every line against those caps before you pay.
There's no county impound lot. Troup County 911 dispatches the next wrecker on a rotation, so your car could be at A LaGrange Towing on Youngs Mill Road, Lickety Split in Hogansville, Teague Towing on the I-85 corridor, or another company. Don't drive to a random lot; call the agency that arrested you, the Sheriff's Office, a city police department, or the State Patrol post, and ask for the impound record tied to your incident number.
The licensed-driver problem
The officer takes your physical license at the arrest and leaves you with a paper DDS 1205 permit. Impound lots often won't release a car to someone who can't show a hard-copy license, so bring a second, properly licensed driver to take the wheel off the lot.
Other holds
If the car is registered to someone else, or the owner is still in jail, the lot needs a notarized letter from the owner naming who can pick it up. If the car was towed for no insurance, the lot won't release it until a new policy is in place, and the digital insurance card has to list that car's VIN, not just a general non-owner policy.
If you think the tow or the fees broke the state tariff, that complaint doesn't go to a local court. You file DPS form TR0031 with the Georgia Department of Public Safety's Motor Carrier Compliance Division, and there's no fee to file it.
