The property owner must find a tow company, and contract between the property owner and the towing company will need to be formed. A sign must be posted on the property. The sign will need to indicate that towing is enforced, and MUST have the tow companies; Name, and Phone Number displayed clear and conspicuous for the public to view.

The tow company in not obligated however may be able to provide a sign for you If there are none available for your property, you can purchase one at any hardware store. Ensure the tow companies name and number is listed with waterproof lettering. The sign must also be maintained in good legible repair for the public the view.

Once the sign is in place, you will need to contact the Chief of Police’s Office at 617-394-2365, and file the necessary permit forms. We will then send an officer to the property to confirm the address sign is posted properly. Once this is completed, the Chief of Police will authorize the Trespass Tow Permit.

NOTE: Be advised that the vehicles parked on the private property are towed at the property owner’s expense.  When the vehicle is recovered by its owner and the tow fee is paid, the tow company will then reimburse the property owner.

NOTE: The City of Everett currently utilizes two local tow companies under city contract; Paul's Tow Company (617-389-2736) and, Quealy Tow Company (617-387-6877). These two companies are familiar with the Everett area, and its city ordinances.
