The City of Jacksonville is reviewing changes to its traffic code, specifically concerning the towing and storage of vehicles and vessels from public and private property. This review includes updating definitions and references to state laws, recognizing vessels as a distinct category, and adjusting non-business hours for towing operations from 8 PM to 7 AM to 6 PM to 8 AM. The proposed changes also allow for new service charges and fees for specialized situations like electric vehicles and heavy equipment, and aim to clarify current police practices. The item is currently pending review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. This review could lead to work for towing companies, storage facilities, and related administrative services. Early engagement with city officials and relevant departments before final decisions are made may provide an advantage for businesses interested in providing these services.
