Frequently Asked Questions

Storage fees on a towed vehicle in Anson County can't legally start accruing until the calendar day after the tow happens. That's a specific protection written into state regulation, 14B NCAC 07A.0116, and it means an arrest at 11:30 PM still leaves until the close of business the next day to retrieve the vehicle before another day's storage charge kicks in.

Anson County has no municipal impound lot. The State Highway Patrol and Sheriff's Office pull from a rotation of private wreckers instead, with ATR Anson Towing & Recovery on US Highway 52 and Williamson Wrecker Service on Stanback Ferry Road both serving as regular rotation vendors depending on where the arrest happened and what equipment the recovery needs. Locating the vehicle means either checking the State Highway Patrol's online Towed Vehicle Search portal by plate or VIN, though it can take up to 24 hours to populate, or calling the Sheriff's non-emergency dispatch line at 704-694-4188 with the time and location of the arrest so dispatchers can confirm which wrecker got the call.

State rotation rules require these companies to keep a staffed business office open 8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday, and specifically bar charging a storage fee for any day the office was closed or simply didn't answer the phone during those hours. If a lot tries it anyway, citing the regulation directly, 14B NCAC 07A.0116(a)(2), and reporting the violation to the Highway Patrol's District First Sergeant is the move. After-hours release is available too, capped at no more than 10% above the standard towing rate, which locally runs $45 to $75 as a flat gate fee.

One real point of leverage: state rotation rules now require these wreckers to accept major credit cards, not just cash. A lot that refuses risks getting bounced off the rotation list entirely, which gives a defendant without cash on hand genuine standing to push back if a lot insists otherwise. Release itself requires the registered owner's photo ID and proof of ownership; if the arrested driver wasn't the owner, the car only goes to the actual owner in person, or to someone carrying a notarized letter of authorization.
