Tow-away signs and distance

The South Dakota towing chapters I read (SDCL 32-30 and 32-36) set no statewide rule for tow-away signs on private lots. Check the lot itself and your city's rules, since local ordinances may add requirements. SDCL ch. 32-36 and 32-30 (no sign rule found) (opens in a new tab)
The same chapters set no statewide limit on how far a private-property tow can be taken. If the storage lot seems unreasonably far, ask the tow company why and keep a record. SDCL ch. 32-36 and 32-30 (no distance rule found) (opens in a new tab)
