BALTIMORE, MD (July 18, 2024) – The Baltimore City Department of Transportation (BCDOT) announced today that it will soon resume the assessment of daily storage fees for vehicles impounded at its Pulaski Highway and Fallsway Facilities.

Starting on Monday, July 22, 2024, daily storage fees for impounded vehicles will resume.  The resumption of these towing fees coincides with the resumption of late fees on outstanding parking penalties, which was announced in June 2024. These fees were also paused throughout much of the COVID-19 pandemic and their resumption is critical for FY2025, as outlined in this year’s budget process.

Vehicles at the Pulaski Highway or Fallsway facilities that remain impounded after the initial 48 hours will be charged a storage fee of $15 per day for 2-axel vehicles with 4 wheels, including weekends and holidays.  Larger vehicles such as dually trucks with six wheels or those with 3 or more axels will be charged a storage fee of $30 per day.

Owners of vehicles that are currently impounded are encouraged to retrieve their vehicles before July 22, 2024, to avoid having daily storage fees assessed.  Before vehicles are released, the proper documentation must be provided, including proof of ownership, and verified by BCDOT staff.  In addition, all towing and storage fees along with any citations associated with the vehicle must be paid.  Please note that towing and storage fees are waived for stolen vehicles with proper documentation.

Motorists are encouraged to call 410-396-9958 to schedule an appointment at the Pulaski Highway facility or visit Towing.BaltimoreCity.gov/Vehicle-Recovery for additional information.
