If your vehicle was impounded pertaining to ARS 28-3511 and you meet one of the criteria below, and can provide the required documents, you may possibly qualify to have your vehicle released early. Please contact the Camp Verde Marshal’s office in person or by telephone (928-554-8372) to schedule a post impound hearing. Impound hearing will be held on Wednesdays of each week during normal business hours (8:00am to 4:00 pm). A post impound hearing fee of $150 will be imposed for each hearing. No same day appointments will be made. Appointments must be scheduled 24 hours in advance.

Common Situations where a Vehicle may be Towed and is Eligible for Release

• Suspended/revoked/cancelled/no driver’s license
• Extreme/aggravated DUI or driver under 21 with alcohol in system
• Ignition Interlock Violation

Situations that Qualify for Early Release

• You are the owner/driver and have reinstated your license with the court and MVD.
• If the owner or spouse was not driving, and they can provide all required documents, and sign an Agreement of Operation which basically states they will not allow a driver of their car to violate 28-3511 again within the next year anywhere in the State of Arizona. The Agreement will be explained fully at the time of the release.
• The vehicle has not been towed anywhere in the state of Arizona in the past year due to a violation of ARS 28-3511.

If the driver is the car owner and the vehicle was towed due to a Ignition Interlock Violation, they must have a device installed in the vehicle while it is at the tow yard, and they must provide paperwork showing it was installed.

If the owner was not the driver, and they do not have an interlock restriction, no installation is required. They can provide all the required documents and sign an Agreement of Operation which basically states they will not allow a driver of their car to violate 28-3511 again within the next year anywhere in the State of Arizona.
