- ARS 28-874 — Governs procedural requirements for towing from private property: storage, receipt, retrieval hours, and fee limits.
- ARS 9-499.05 — Sets towing signage standards: minimum dimensions, required language (towing company name and 24-hour phone), and placement at all parking area entrances.
- ARS 28-4141 through 28-4145 — Arizona abandoned vehicle lien process: observation, ADOT notification, certified mail, waiting period, and disposal or auction.
