Towing and Storage Lien

Towing and Storage Lien

At D N TITLES, the complete tow-to-title process is handled by our veteran title clerks. If your towing company needs to retrieve costs associated with the towing and storage of a motorcycle, vehicle, vessel, trailer or manufactured home, YOU CAN LIEN ON US! In certain instances, the property that has been towed may be worth little or no value at all. These circumstances allow the towing company to apply for a Certificate of Destruction (CD). The CD is considered the death certificate for the vehicle. This grants the towing company authorization to dispose of the property. 

Towing and Storage Lien Services Include:

  • Florida or Out of State Vehicles/Vessels Towing and Storage Lien Filings
  • Title Search to find and verify owners and lienholders of vehicle
  • Certified Mailing of required notices to all parties on file with the DMV Records Office.    
  • Communication with customers & lienholders regarding balance owed.
  • Publishing of the required legal ads in your local Newspaper.
  • Forms, Support and Communications with DMV for a successful transfer of title into your company’s name if not paid by deadline.
  • Obtain a CD if property is little to no value.
  • Wrecker Operator Lien assistance.

What vehicles do you have that owe you money?

Florida Statute 713.78 allows a towing company to publicly auction unclaimed vehicles to retrieve unpaid towing and storage fees owed by non-paying vehicle owners. Our towing and storage lien experts can help you resolve these issues and process all the towing and storage lien paperwork for you.

One of two things will happen once you file a Towing and Storage Lien:
