NYC Boot Risk Checker

NYC marshals can immobilize any vehicle with $350 or more in judgment parking and camera violation debt. A booted vehicle costs at least $280 in fixed fees plus 5% poundage to release, before tow, dispatch, or storage fees if towed. Vehicles with $2,500 or more in unpaid debt can be towed immediately, without being booted first. For commercial fleets, a single booted delivery van means a full day of missed deliveries, disrupted routes, and lost revenue far exceeding the underlying fines. Enter a plate number below to check the current unpaid balance and see whether a vehicle is safe, approaching boot risk, or already in the danger zone.
