On weekends and peak hours, Kansas City’s hotspots overflow with visitors. From Westport’s bars and First Fridays in the Crossroads Arts District to Saturday shopping crowds at the Plaza, private lots can fill up with cars that don’t belong. PPI offers proactive weekend and peak-hour enforcement to protect your property. We patrol and stand by during nightlife rushes, markets, festivals, and stadium games, ready to tow cars of patrons who think your lot is “free city parking.” Our local Kansas City enforcement team knows the usual trouble spots – we’ll deter and remove those freeloaders so reserved parking stays available for your actual residents, tenants, or customers.
Proven Parking Protection: PPI ensures reserved parking stays available for those who belong – your residents, tenants, customers – rather than being taken by strangers. No more coming home to find someone in your assigned spot.
Stop Parking Abuse: Our enforcement prevents abuse by freeloaders who use your lot as “free event parking” or a convenient spot for nightlife. We deter repeat offenders who previously treated your private lot like public parking.
Free Compliance Signage & Agreements: We provide and install private property towing signs meeting Kansas City, MO requirements at all entrances, so drivers are on notice (and you’re in legal compliance). We also set up a formal towing agreement with each property owner – a simple template contract giving us authorization to act on your behalf, tailored to your needs. This paperwork protects you and ensures we’re always ready to act when you call.
Customized Parking Policy Enforcement: Need a strict unauthorized vehicle parking policy for your lot? We’ll help craft and enforce it. PPI offers sample parking policy templates and works with property managers to customize rules (permits, time limits, etc.). We then enforce those rules rigorously so your property’s parking policy isn’t just words on paper.
In Kansas City, if an unauthorized vehicle is on your private property, you have the right to have it removed. First, ensure your lot has the required “No Parking – Towing Enforced” signage posted as per city ordinance. (If not, contact PPI – we’ll provide compliant signs for free.) You do not have to tolerate someone trespassing in your parking space. You can call a licensed private towing company like Private Party Impound directly – we’re authorized for nonconsensual towing in Kansas City, MO. We will dispatch a tow truck to remove the vehicle at no cost to you, charging the vehicle owner per city-regulated fees. You should also inform KCPD’s non-emergency line if required by law (in KCMO, tow companies like us handle the police notification for you). Do not confront the vehicle owner yourself; simply reach out to PPI at 816-777-8800 and let us legally remove the car according to Kansas City regulations.
Yes, Missouri law allows a property owner or authorized agent to tow a car off their private property without the vehicle owner’s consent, as long as certain conditions are met. In Kansas City (and most of Missouri), you’ll need to have signage warning that unauthorized vehicles will be towed, and the tow must be conducted by a licensed tow company. The tow operator must notify local law enforcement after removing the vehicle and follow Missouri’s impound procedures (like filing an abandoned property report if applicable). You as a private individual shouldn’t physically tow the car yourself – you must enlist a properly licensed towing company. Private Party Impound handles the entire process for you, ensuring the tow is compliant with Missouri state statutes and Kansas City ordinances. In short: you can tow a car from your private property by calling a company like PPI, who will act under your authorization and within the law.
Removing an abandoned vehicle from private property in Kansas City involves a few legal steps, but PPI makes it easy for you. Generally, if a car has been left unattended on your property 48 hours or longer without consent, Missouri considers it “abandoned.” The property owner or manager can then authorize a tow. The process typically includes: (1) Posting notice (a sign on the property suffices for all vehicles, and in some cases, an attempt to notify the owner if known), (2) Calling a qualified tow company (like PPI) to remove the vehicle, (3) The tow operator will document the condition of the vehicle and tow it to a storage lot, and (4) By law, the tow company files an abandoned property report with the local police or sheriff’s department and the Missouri Department of Revenue. In Kansas City, our team handles those filings electronically within the required time frame. Essentially, you call us and we’ll guide you – we take care of the paperwork and notifications to legally remove the abandoned car. You get your space back, and the vehicle’s owner will have to retrieve it from our private impound lot (Kansas City) under the proper legal procedures.
It’s a common question. In Kansas City, the police generally do not tow vehicles off private property just for being illegally parked, unless there’s a special circumstance (for example, the vehicle is blocking a public sidewalk or driveway, or is suspected stolen or involved in a crime). You can call the KCPD Non-Emergency line (816-234-5111) or 311 to report an unauthorized vehicle, but in most cases they will advise you to use a private towing service. The police will only act if the vehicle has a city parking citation or is a hazard. So, you should call Kansas City private impound professionals – like PPI – first for most parking violations on private property. We have direct lines to notify law enforcement as required after we tow. Essentially, call the police only if you need to file an official report or if there’s an emergency safety issue. For all other routine unauthorized parking issues, a private impound is the faster solution. We’ll handle the removal and then inform the police department of the tow’s details (which is required by city code). This approach saves you time – we often arrive and remove the car before a police officer would even be dispatched to simply ticket it.
