About Maryland

Maryland has no state tow license. Counties and Baltimore City license tow companies; the Baltimore County Department of Permits, for example, issues a trespass towing license.1-2 In Maryland, unless local law sets a different limit, the most a company may charge for a parking lot tow is twice the local public safety impound tow fee. If the county or city sets no such fee, the most is $250 for towing and recovery.3

Towing rules in Maryland

Storage limits

For a parking lot tow in Maryland, the most a storage lot may charge is the local daily impound storage fee. If the county or city sets none, the most is $30 a day.3

Private-lot tows

In Maryland, the tower needs the lot owner's authorization naming the person who authorized the tow, and photos of the violation. The tower must notify local police within one hour after the tow, and the owner, insurer and lienholder by certified mail within seven days. Spotters and payments to lot owners are banned.3
