6-4-8: LICENSE REQUIRED; EXPIRATION DATE; LOCATION:

   A.   No person may provide law enforcement towing inside the County without first obtaining a law enforcement towing license. The license issued to an emergency tow company authorizes the licensee and all its bona fide employees to engage in dispatched law enforcement towing from the tow truck rotation list. Only one license may be issued to each emergency tow company owner, and a tow company owner can have no more than one tow company on the tow truck rotation list at any point in time. Licensed tow companies may not subcontract with other towing agencies, licensed or unlicensed, for the provision of law enforcement towing services. Applications for law enforcement towing licenses may be obtained at the Ada County Sheriff's Office beginning on May 1 of each year, and all completed applications must be received by the Ada County Sheriff no later than May 31 of each year. Applications which have not been completed will not be accepted. Tow service inspections for the upcoming licensing year shall be conducted by the Ada County Sheriff's Office during June of each year. All such licenses shall expire on June 30 of the following calendar year.

   B.   Licensees shall maintain a permanent and established place of business within Ada County, and shall promptly notify the Ada County Sheriff of any change of address. (Ord. 453, 5-21-2002; amd. Ord. 896, 5-21-2019)
