Is private property towing legal in Illinois?
Yes, when it's done right, and Illinois is unusually specific about what right means. Under 625 ILCS 5/18a a private-property tow is a relocation, performed only by a commercial vehicle relocator licensed by the Illinois Commerce Commission in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Will and Winnebago counties. The property has to post a sign at least 24 inches high by 36 inches wide, mounted at least 4 feet but less than 8 feet off the ground, illuminated or painted with reflective paint or both, naming the relocator and stating the towing charge. Removing a vehicle from a property without those signs is unlawful. The relocator, not this matcher, is the licensee who has to follow the rest of that chapter.
Do you work with HOAs?
Yes. HOAs are a frequent private-property client type. A licensed relocator audits the existing signage, updates the parking rules with the board, and sets a patrol schedule that fits the community. Board members don't make the tow call; the relocator does, per the agreed rules.
