PARKING CLUB UNITED IS:

The Compliance Solution for Oregon Senate Bill 1036


Are You Ready for the changes in year 2026?


Oregon Senate Bill 1036 has changed the landscape of private property parking. The law now significantly restricts—and practically prohibits—tow providers from "patrolling" or "scanning" your property for vehicles to tow. 

Key Towing Restrictions and Requirements (SB 1036):

No Independent Tows: Towers cannot patrol private lots and select vehicles to tow; they must receive specific, signed authorization from the property owner or agent before each tow. - WE BECOME YOUR PARKING MANAGER AGENT

Release if Present: If a vehicle owner or operator is present, the tower must release the vehicle at no charge. 

Photographic Evidence: Towers must take at least one photo of the vehicle before towing, documenting the date and time, and retain it for two years. - WE DOCUMENT MULTIPLE IMAGES AND VIDEO AND ACCOUNT FOR ALL VIOLATIONS AND/OR TOWS

Signage Required: Tows can only occur if a sign is in plain view, clearly stating parking restrictions.

Closest Facility: Tows must be taken to the closest storage facility within the same county.

Record Keeping: Towers must maintain signed authorizations for two years and provide them upon request. - 

Signage and Site Rules: The bill restricts where tow vehicles can park while monitoring lots and requires, under this Oregon.gov document, that at least one sign provides contact information for vehicle recovery. 

These measures aim to align private property impounds with stricter standards, (READ THIS) clarifying that tow companies cannot act as agents for property owners.   ~  SEE LINK https://share.google/QtHxkbwWGvdZebHX3
