Applications Now Open for Trespass Tow Advisory Board
Leesburg, VA (October 28, 2026) – Town residents, business owners, and licensed towing and recovery operators serving the Town may now apply for appointment to the newly-established Trespass Tow Advisory Board.
The Leesburg Town Council established a Trespass Tow Advisory Board at its October 6 meeting. The Trespass Tow Advisory Board will be tasked with evaluating current tow rates when vehicles are towed from private properties such as commercial parking lots or homeowners association property. The board will benchmark these rates with other localities within the Northern Virginia area; develop proposed language for the ordinance; and make recommendations on standardized fees to the Town Council.
Up to two members of the general public may be appointed to the Trespass Tow Advisory Board. Members of the public can be either Town residents or business owners within Town limits. Additionally, up to two representatives of licensed towing and recovery operators may be appointed to this Board. Those who currently serve on another Town Board or Commission are eligible to apply. Additional board membership will include representatives of the Leesburg Police Department.
The Trespass Tow Advisory Board will meet a maximum of four times a year.
Those interested in being considered for appointment may apply at https://leesburgva.info/BoardCommissionApplication. Applications are due by close of business Friday, November 20.
This is the second towing-related board established by the Town Council this year. Over the summer, the Council established a Police-Directed Towing Advisory Board in an effort to promote uniformity, transparency, and fairness of towing services initiated by the Leesburg Police Department. That advisory board is also composed of members of the public and representatives from the Leesburg Police Department and licensed towing and recovery operators.
