Booting/Immobilization

The PUC has regulated the booting/immobilization industry since 2019. In 2025, HB25-1117 increased consumer protection in the booting/immobilization industry, particularly on residential properties. The PUC's oversight includes ensuring vehicle booting/immobilization companies are permitted and meet minimum insurance requirements, setting maximum rates for having a boot/immobilization device removed from a vehicle, and establishing other operational criteria, such as vehicle release standards, accepted forms of payment, and property signage requirements.

Consumers can file a complaint if they believe a boot/immobilization was improper. The PUC takes consumer complaints, investigates to determine if violations have occurred, and pursues enforcement action if necessary.

Please note that the filing fees for Vehicle Booting/Immobilization Company applications will be increasing from $150.00 to $153.00, effective November 1, 2025.
