How much does it cost to get a car out of impound in Bywater?

Impound costs inside Orleans Parish follow the City of New Orleans' own fee schedule, raised July 27, 2026 to track the Louisiana Public Service Commission's statewide towing rates. A Light Duty tow and impound runs a $228.75 minimum for the first 90 minutes, then $76.25 per additional half hour, with storage at $19 a day capped at $500 total. All outstanding parking citations 90 or more days old must be paid before release, on top of the tow and storage fee. Release happens at the Claiborne Avenue Auto Pound, 400 N. Claiborne Ave, open 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week; call (504) 658-8100 to confirm a vehicle was towed or (504) 658-8284 to check a fee balance.

Frenchmen St and the St. Claude Ave venue corridor run a private-lot towing economy most nights, and the arts-district crowd packs narrow one-way streets with double-parked cars during gallery openings and second-line parades. Bywater and Marigny tows, common around that music-venue row, fall under the City of New Orleans' fee schedule, $228.75 minimum for Light Duty, $19 a day storage capped at $500. St. Claude Ave is the spine connecting both neighborhoods to the Quarter and the Lower Ninth Ward, and the Industrial Canal crossing at the eastern edge is a regular bottleneck point for breakdowns. Both neighborhoods sit on relatively higher ground near the river and fared better than most of the city in Katrina, and many raised historic homes here stayed dry. Bywater held 3,337 residents and Faubourg Marigny 2,973 as of the 2010 Census, both down sharply from 2000 as the areas gentrified into arts-and-music enclaves. Release happens at the Claiborne Avenue Auto Pound, 400 N. Claiborne Ave, open 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily; call (504) 658-8100 to confirm a city tow before heading past Washington Square or St. Roch Cemetery.
