DMV Boot And Tow

April 1, 2025: data feeds from DMV are currently offline while the agency works to migrate reporting systems. The most recent data available is from December 2024. Open Data DC is working with DMV to restore data feeds as soon as possible.

The DC Department of Public Works (DPW) boots or tows vehicles in the District of Columbia that have two or more 61-day-old, unpaid tickets. A boot is a device attached to the vehicle's wheel to immobilize it. The boot can be safely removed only by DPW. A booted vehicle is subject to towing immediately, if the outstanding tickets and boot fee remain unpaid. Boots are normally removed less than 2 hours after fines have been paid. A vehicle may be towed by DPW or the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) if it is parked so as to create a traffic or safety hazard.
