Private Property Towing in East York
Non-tenants in your Thorncliffe Park visitor spots, shoppers’ cars left all day in a Leaside retail lot, a car parked across your building’s fire lane? We clear unauthorized vehicles from East York properties under Toronto’s private parking by-law, so your tenants and customers can park again. Available 24/7. Call now!
Older buildings, tight parking.
Much of East York’s housing is in apartment towers built decades ago, when lots were planned for far fewer cars. That makes every space count, and outside vehicles in tenant or visitor parking cause real friction. Retail lots in Leaside and along Pape and O’Connor face the same problem with all-day parkers.
East York is part of the City of Toronto, so every tow follows Toronto’s process. We help superintendents, property managers and owners get it right, then remove ticketed vehicles quickly.
The vehicle owner usually pays the towing and storage fees, not your property.

How towing works in East York
East York properties follow the City of Toronto’s Municipal Code and Ontario’s towing and storage law. Here’s the order things happen in.
Proper signs posted
Visible signs at every entrance explain who may park and that violators are ticketed and towed.
Enforcement arranged
The property arranges authorized parking enforcement officers to act for it.
Ticket and tow card
The car is ticketed by an officer and a Toronto Police tow card is issued.
Tow is completed
A certified operator tows the car and records photos, time and location.
Location reported
Police are told where the car is held, so the owner can find it quickly.
Car is released
The owner pays the regulated fees, and can collect belongings at no charge.

Start with clear signs.
Older East York lots often have faded or outdated signs. For enforcement to work, signs usually need to show:
- Who the parking is for. Tenants, permit holders, visitors with passes or customers.
- The penalty. Unauthorized cars will be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense.
- Toronto's by-law. East York signs reference Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 915.
- Good visibility. Readable from the driveway, day and night.
