Was your vehicle impounded?
We understand this is a stressful time, and we are here to try to make things easier for you. Please review the requirements below before coming in to pick up your vehicle.
Requirements for impound release
To release an impounded vehicle, the person picking it up must provide all required documents. Missing documents can delay release.
- All impound fees must be paid in CASH. No exceptions.
- Proof of ownership: title or registration. Insurance cards will not prove ownership.
- Valid Michigan insurance.
- Valid operator's license. Training permits will not be accepted.
- Branch County Sheriff's Department: Per county law-enforcement direction, an impounded vehicle may not be removed by being towed out or trailered out for the purpose of avoiding proper license plate (registration) and insurance requirements. This applies to every impound release and is firm county policy — not negotiable.
