Maybe some of you know what is going on with SJC?

You'll find two Transient Parking areas depicted on this airport

Presumably there is not charge for tie down there.

Unless something has changed you still pay the $40 for those.

It would seem that those transient parking areas would be governed by
CFR Title 14, Part 150 regulations. Perhaps the OP should do some
research concerning what has been approved for those parking areas.

SJC is a
very GA unfriendly airport (the county figures you should be at RHV).

As long as they abide by FAA regulations, I suppose they are within
their right.

I once landed at SJC to fly another plane. I pulled plane #1 out of
its tie down spot and put plane #2 into the spot while I went out to
fly plane #1. When I got back there were two security trucks sitting
there with their lights flashing. They said there were getting ready
to tow plane #2. They keep track of what plane is in which spot.

You're saying that the airport operator (SJ county?) does not permit
aircraft, other than the one paying tie-down fees for a specific spot,
to park in rented parking spots?

It would be interesting to see the rental agreement that authorizes
them to tow "offending" aircraft.
