No one likes a yellow boot.
When a vehicle is booted, a device is attached to a wheel of your vehicle to prevent you from moving. (Your vehicle can be booted for owing the city more than $350 in parking, red light camera or bus lane violation tickets.)
To remove the boot, call the toll-free phone number on the boot notice to pay all of the outstanding judgment debt, together with any additional fees imposed. You can pay over the phone with your debit/credit card or an electronic check. Cash, money orders or cashier's checks at certain "Business Centers." Once you pay what is owed, a release code will be given and upon entering those numbers, the boot will unlock and can be removed. (The boot needs to be returned within 24 hours to avoid a late fee of $25.00 per day.)
