The Towing Issue

Between 2005 and 2007, I am not sure when exactly, the HOA decided that the Visitor Parking was no longer necessary.

Along the same wish, the HOA implemented new Parking Rules, excluding parking on the streets between the hours of Midnight and 5 am.
One wheel on the grass "common" in front of houses that residents maintain, will cost you $120 in towing fees, and a trip to: Massive Towing of Orlando, Inc.




When a resident calls them, usually the towing company will remove the vehicle even though it might not always be parked against the said "Rules". A trip should be justified with income, right?



The HOA likes to change Rules on a whim.

Towing Rules prior to 2013 as posted on the "Ofiicial Website":


The towing Rules per the last HOA News letter May 2013. No other has been sent since.

Why elect to live in such a community?


  • In 2005, Kempton Park Orlando had a visitor parking area
  • The HOA changed that with only the participation of a few ruling members
  • Most hoa's give warnings for unwanted vehicles. Not here in Kempton Park Orlando, they will have your car towed just with one call to Massive Towing.
  • Well, the gate in Kempton Park Orlando worked for 2 weeks, and it is broken again.
  • Kempton Park Orlando has a gate, but no walls around it, nor fence. The gate is mostly used as an excuse to collect money for stickers or cards.
  • The hoa at Kemton Park Orlando borrows money without asking residents, then increases the fee.
  • Prairie Meadows North side is missing the 20 mph & Children
    at play signs.
  • HOA meetings are rare, and usually called with a 48 hours warning.

    Additional Notes
    Complaint Category: Inappropriate behavior by customer service personnel

    Complaint: Tow truck driver attempted to tow a vehicle from my property. When asking for clarification on why I was being towed the driver threatened me.
    A Massive towing driver attempted to tow a vehicle from my property. When asking for clarification the driver refused to give me any details. He then threatened to hit me and another family member. I have filed a complaint with the Sherif's office. This driver is incredibly rude and potentially dangerous.

    Complaint Resolution: Company failed to respond to BBB to resolve or address the complaint issues.

  2. Well, the towing company is now required to take a picture of the reason for towing. THAT'S A HUGE IMPROVEMENT! They can no longer tow, because they made the trip, but only if the vehicle is indeed parked wrong.

  4. If you have a clunker sitting in your driveway, garage, or -- heaven forbid -- your front yard, you may have more than a useless vehicle on your hands. Although your car may look like it came from the set of "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome," it could still be worth money. To find out if it is, you should take it to a salvage yard that offers cash for junk cars, or have the company come to you if the vehicle is un-drivable.

  6. Terrible HOA at Kempton Park. Someone is making money off visitors by towing their cars as soon as it’s 12AM. It’s quite sad how they run their association. Anyone and everyone should be discouraged from buying a home here. Tyranny is the best way to describe the way they control the residents.
