Vehicle Immobilization (Booting) and Towing

Vehicles that have been issued 5 or more citations that are unpaid by 30 days or more, or are observed repeatedly parking in violation of parking rules and regulations are subject to Immobilization (Booting) or Towing.

Vehicles that are booted for 5 or more outstanding citations will remain booted for 48 hours. If all outstanding citations are not paid within 48 hours the vehicle will be towed at the owners' expense, and will remain stored until all outstanding citations are paid, and towing and storage fees are paid to the towing agency.

Vehicles that are towed for repeat violations may be released to the registered owner upon payment of tow and storage fees to the towing agency.
