1. What is chain parking?

Chain parking is staying within a designated block (defined as a portion of a street, both sides, between two intersections) for more than the allotted time limit. Drivers must move to a new block within the specified time limit.

For example: If you are parked on the 1100 block of Commerce, you must move to the 1200 block or around the corner onto another street to avoid an overtime parking fine.

2. What is a boot?

A boot is an immobilization device that is placed on the tire of a vehicle. A notice is also placed on the vehicle giving the owner 24 hours to pay all outstanding parking fines plus a $50 immobilization fee to have the boot removed. 

After 24 hours the vehicle will be impounded and the owner will be required to pay all original fines, the $50 fee, and tow and storage fees to get the vehicle returned.
