Booting or Towing a Vehicle

Booting a Vehicle

A vehicle will be booted and/or towed if it has accumulated five (5) or more outstanding parking citations. 

In addition to the fines, there is a $45 fee for the removal of the boot.  When a vehicle has been booted for 8 hours with no response from the owner/operator, it will be towed at the owner’s/operator’s expense.  Exception:  Motorcycles and vehicles that cannot be booted will be towed immediately at the owner’s/operator’s expense.

All citations and the boot fee must be paid within eight hours from the time that the boot is placed on the vehicle.  Citations that are appealed after you are cited as scofflaw still must be paid in order to have the boot removed.  Appealing citations after receiving a boot will not keep your vehicle from being towed.  If the citations are not paid, the vehicle will be towed at the owner or operator's expense.  Parking fines, towing, and storage charges must be paid before an impounded vehicle can be released.

Parking Services will not accept a check for over $100 for a vehicle that has been booted or towed for unpaid citations.

Payment methods we accept:

• cash
• check
• money order
• Visa
• MasterCard
• Discover
