Answer

When may I begin a lien sale?

If your lien is for towing and/or storage only (ie. towing companies and official police impounding agencies) you may start your lien at any point after the vehicle is in your possession. HOWEVER: You may only charge a lien fee after 72 hours.

If work and/or services are a part of your lien (ie. repair facilities, mechanics, car dealerships, etc.) you may start your lien after a bill has been presented to the owner or 15 days after work is completed, whichever comes first.
