Perry snow emergency: half an inch is enough
Under Perry city code 69.13, any snowfall of half an inch or more is a snow emergency. No one may park on any public street, alley or city lot until it has been plowed and the snow has stopped. The ban runs through the storm and 48 hours after it, except on streets that have been fully opened. In practice, move the car off the street once the first half inch is on the ground.
Trailer, semi and overnight parking rules in Perry
Perry city code 69.11 bars parking a semi, a truck tractor, a trailer, farm machinery or any vehicle with a trailer attached on a city street or public lot. The exception is loading or unloading cargo, and pickups and light delivery trucks are exempt. Any city street has a 48-hour limit. On downtown blocks such as Willis Avenue and Warford Street between First and Third streets, no vehicle may stay more than 30 minutes between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.
For a vehicle the city impounds as abandoned, the code sets a fee of $3 if it is claimed within 5 days. Each extra day adds $1, plus towing. If a commercial garage stores it, that garage's towing and storage fees apply. That release is handled by the city of Perry, and we are not part of it.
Perry tow truck and winch-out prices
A tow off Iowa 141 or a Perry side street starts from $124. A winch-out from a snowy ditch is from $129, and a jump start from $85. Lockouts start at $85, and putting on the spare is from $98. A tow from Perry to a metro shop runs far longer than one within town, so the miles weigh on the price.
For a tow, a jump start or a tire change, call (515) 585-8351. You hear the total and the timing on the call, and nobody is sent until you have.
Perry questions
Does half an inch of snow start a Perry snow emergency?
Yes, half an inch or more counts under Perry city code 69.13. Parking is then banned on every public street, alley and city lot through the storm and for 48 hours after, except on streets fully opened. If your car will not start in time, a jump start in Perry is from $85.
Can I park a trailer or farm machinery on a Perry street?
No. Perry city code 69.11 bars a semi, truck tractor, trailer, farm machinery or any vehicle with a trailer attached from city streets and public lots. Loading or unloading is allowed, and pickups and light delivery trucks are exempt. If the pickup pulling a trailer breaks down, we price a tow for your setup on the call.
What does Perry charge to release an impounded abandoned car?
Perry's city code sets $3 if the vehicle is claimed within 5 days, plus $1 for each extra day, plus towing. If a commercial garage stores it, that garage's towing and storage fees apply. To have a Perry car moved on your own terms instead, we can tow it to a shop or driveway you choose.
What does towing from Perry to Des Moines cost?
A tow from Perry starts from $124, but a trip to a Des Moines metro shop runs far longer than one inside town. The extra miles raise the price, as can crash work or storage. We give you the total on the call, so you can decide before we send anyone.
Can I get a tow truck in Perry late at night?
Yes, phone (515) 585-8351 whenever the car quits, day or night; Perry calls are answered 24/7. Give us the highway, Iowa 141 or Iowa 144, your direction and the nearest crossroad, or your street in town. We quote the tow and the timing, then send a tow truck.
