IV. RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to adopt an updated towing and wrecker fee

May 4, 2026 City Council Meeting · 2026-05-04 · agenda_item

The City of Destin is considering an update to its towing and wrecker fee schedule. This agenda item, scheduled for the May 4, 2026 City Council Meeting, proposes raising maximum towing charges for tows on private property and for non-consensual tows. The city attorney and staff are directed to draft a resolution reflecting these proposed changes. This item is currently under review and represents an early stage in the public process. The work set in motion involves administrative and legal actions to update fee structures and potentially revise city ordinances. Businesses involved in towing and vehicle recovery services may find opportunities as these new fee structures are finalized. Engaging with city staff and officials early in this review process could provide valuable insight into the upcoming changes.
