St. Louis Boot / Tow — Three-Tickets Threshold and Notice
City of St. Louis Revised Code §17.66.110–§17.66.120 govern booting and towing for parking-scofflaw enforcement. The Treasurer may boot or tow only after a registered owner has accumulated three or more unpaid citations more than 30 days past due, AND has been mailed proper notice. Booting/towing without (a) the predicate three-tickets threshold being satisfied, or (b) proper certified-mail notice, or (c) opportunity to be heard, violates the ordinance and the Due Process Clause. Numerous St. Louis tow disputes have been resolved by showing one or more underlying citations was already paid, contested, or never properly served.
