Per Hoboken City Code, vehicles parked in violation of posted signs and/or local ordinances may be summonsed and/or towed. If you believe your vehicle may have been towed, please follow the procedures below.

Towed Vehicles:

As a result of contracting law requirements and to provide redundancy and additional resources in cases of major storms, the city uses a rotating towing system. The current towing contractors are A & L Auto Body, EZ Towing, John's Main Auto Body, and New Jersey Towing. Vehicles will be towed by each of the 4 contractors on a rotating business to their respective locations.

The new procedures for retrieving a towed vehicle have been significantly simplified, eliminate multiple back and forth trips between the tow yard and Police Department, and uses a single point of payment. By providing a driver’s license, the registration and insurance information can be retrieved without the need for additional back and forth trips as was previously necessary.

If you believe your vehicle has been towed, please follow these steps:

  1. Call (201) 653-1919 x8012 (Hoboken Parking Utility) or (201) 420-2100 (Police Department) to confirm your vehicle has been towed and get the name/address of the tow yard housing your vehicle.
  2. Present your driver's license to the tow yard.

To begin this process, please complete a Tow Reimbursement form, which can be found under Transportation and Parking here.

All completed forms are to be emailed back to dispatch@hobokennj.gov.
