Notice of Dollar Amount Adjustments for Liens on Vehicles for Towing and Storage
Under Wis. Stat. § 779.415 (1g) (c), the department is required to annually adjust the dollar amounts that may be charged for towing or storing a vehicle identified under Wis. Stat. § 779.415 (1g) par. (a). Under this law, the department shall adjust the dollar amounts by the annual change in the consumer price index, all items, U.S. city average, as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor.
The Department has determined that current dollar amounts specified under Wis. Stat. § 779.415(1g)(a) shall increase by 0.1%, according to the annual average percent change in the consumer price index (All Urban Consumers – 2015 Annual Average).
The dollar amounts contained in Wis. Stat. § 779.415(1g)(a) are adjusted to the following dollar amounts:
If the vehicle is subject to a lien perfected under Wis. Stat. ch. 342, a towing lien shall have priority only to the extent of $110 for a vehicle having a manufacturer’s gross weight rating of 20,000 pounds or less and $390 for a vehicle having a manufacturer’s gross weight rating of more than 20,000 pounds. A storage lien shall have priority only to the extent of $10 per day but for a total amount of not more than $660 for a vehicle having a manufacturer’s gross weight rating of 20,000 pounds or less and $28 per day but for a total amount of not more than $1,660 for a vehicle having a manufacturer’s gross weight rating of more than 20,000 pounds. If the value of the vehicle exceeds $830 the lien may be enforced under Wis. Stat. § 779.48(2). If the value of the vehicle does not exceed $830, the lien may be enforced by sale or junking as provided in sub. (2).
These revised dollar amounts for liens on vehicles for towing and storage shall apply to services commenced on or after January 1, 2017 for which a lien is claimed. These revised dollar amounts shall remain in effect until the first day of the first month following publication of new adjusted dollar amounts in the Wisconsin Administrative Register.
