By-law and Enforcement Services - Report Vehicle To Be or Has Been Towed

Below are some circumstances the City may tow:

- Any vehicle that has a previous ticket on the windshield for the same offence in the identical location and appears not to have been moved within the preceding 24-hr period may be towed at the time of the second ticket being issued
- The vehicle was parked in a tow-away zone
- The vehicle poses an immediate safety risk in its current location
- The vehicle is un-plated or abandoned
- The Works & Transportation Department has made the request in order to aid snow removal operations (the plow has tried to clear and will return to clear the street)
