Vehicle Immobilization

The Vehicle Immobilization (Booting) Program was implemented on March 1, 1994.

The goal of the Vehicle Immobilization (Booting) program is to encourage compliance with parking ordinances and to capture delinquent parking citation fines.

It involves the attachment of a clamping device on the wheels of a vehicle to immobilize it until all delinquent citations have been paid by the owner. Vehicles that remain booted after 72 hours will be towed if the owner has not made arrangements to clear the outstanding parking citations; only vehicles with five or more outstanding parking citations are subject to booting.

For release of Booted vehicle, call: (916) 808-8500.
