Vehicle Boot Program
AVOID THE BOOT!
The Carpentersville Vehicle Immobilization Program
 The
Carpentersville Village Board, faced with a growing number of unpaid
parking and vehicle sticker citations, has adopted new ordinances
expanding the enforcement and collection powers of the Village for
chronic violators.
The Village of Carpentersville is notifying chronic violators that we
will be applying an immobilization device, commonly known as the “Denver
Boot,” to vehicles owned by persons with five (5) or more unpaid parking
or vehicle sticker citations. Owners who have their vehicles booted will
have to pay all outstanding fines and penalties, including a $250.00
immobilization fee, or post a bond in the equivalent amount, to have
their vehicle released. Owners who fail to pay the required amount will
have their vehicles towed and impounded. Vehicle owners who accumulate
ten (10) or more unpaid tickets are also eligible to have their Illinois
Driver’s License suspended for failure to pay the tickets. Those vehicle
owners who fail to appear at Administrative Adjudication hearings will
also find that there are additional fines and penalties imposed on
default judgments.
If you have outstanding parking tickets or vehicle sticker violation
tickets, you can clear up those violations and avoid the expense and
inconvenience that will be experienced by those who have their vehicles
booted and/or towed. Owners who do not clear up outstanding citations
are liable for the full amount of fines and penalties, and could find
their vehicles booted or towed, or have their Driver’s License
suspended.
If you think that you may have outstanding, unpaid parking or vehicle
sticker violation tickets, you can verify any tickets outstanding and
the amounts owed by:
- Coming in to the Village of Carpentersville Finance Department
(8:30 am - 5:00 pm Monday-Friday)
- Calling the Village of Carpentersville Finance Department at
847-426-3439
