Private Parking Lots: Requirements for Wheel-Clamp (Booting) Operators

Certain privately owned parking lots throughout the Entertainment District are made available for public parking. Please pay close attention to the signs displayed at these lots - payment is likely required and the lot owners enforce their parking regulations by either towing or booting vehicles who do not comply with their payment regulations.

The City does not engage in these enforcement practices on the parking facilities that it manages, however towing and booting are mechanisms approved by the City Council to provide a means of enforcement for lots owned and managed by private entities. City Code §72.73 outlines the requirements of these private wheel clamp operators, which include:

  1. The parking lot owner, manager, company or other entity which has installed wheel clamps or boots upon overparked vehicles may not charge more than $40.00 total to place and remove the boot on a vehicle. They must accept valid credit and debit cards and cash for the payment allowed at the parking lot and may accept any other form of payment. An accurate and legible receipt for this payment must immediately be provided to the vehicle owner or operator.
  2. The private pay-to-park lot owner, manager, company or other entity shall immediately answer every telephone call for the number displayed upon the wheel clamp/booting warning sign after a vehicle has been booted as long as such vehicle remains in the company's possession. The entity must respond to any telephone call or other notice from the vehicle's owner or operator and remove the wheel clamp within 15 minutes of such call or notice if the owner or operator has paid the allowed fee. All wheel clamp company employees dealing with customers must wear a company uniform and display a company photo ID.
  3. Every wheel clamp employee who may come into contact with the public must pass a background check and obtain a permit from the Parking Division before beginning employment with the wheel clamp company. The cost to obtain the wheel clamp company employee permit is $5.00.
  4. Private lots must include signage at the parking lot entrances detailing their enforcement practices along with contact information to report questions or concerns.

Allegations of wrongdoing or non-compliance with these requirements may be reported to the City Prosecutor’s Office.
