Since 1950, Virginia Code has enabled property and business owners adversely affected by trespassing vehicles to employ towing companies to remove parking violators. On December 13, 2016 the Arlington County Board passed a towing regulation, called “second signature,” which forces property owners to allow trespassing vehicles to park on commercial and/or business property whenever and for as long as they want, unless a business or property owner is available to give their towing contractor a “secondary” authorization to allow a car to be towed.
