Governor DeSantis signed House Bill 179 on March 22, 2024, requiring counties, cities, and the Florida Highway Patrol to post maximum towing and storage rates online and establish a process for investigating and resolving fee complaints, effective July 1, 2024, according to the Florida Senate analysis. The bill includes 17 key changes including requirements to itemize invoices and accept multiple payment methods.
Operator takeaway
If you operate in Florida, your rates must be posted online and your invoices must be itemized — review your compliance before a complaint triggers the new dispute resolution process.
