Frequently Asked Questions
- You must be the registered owner of the vehicle, the owner’s court-appointed agent, or the lessee of a vehicle who has been designated as liable for judgment summonses by the vehicle’s lessor.
- You must agree to include all open parking ticket judgments not already covered by an active payment plan.
If your vehicle has been booted or towed, you can enroll in a standard parking ticket plan with Republic Immobilization Services at www.nycbootpay.com. If you are not able to enroll in a payment plan at www.nycbootpay.com, you can call Republic Immobilization Services at (646) 517-1000.
If your vehicle has not been booted or towed, and you have judgment debt of $350 or more, you can enroll in a standard parking ticket payment plan with the Department of Finance. We strongly encourage you to enroll online at e-Services.
For judgments under $350, you must agree to a 60-day payment plan with a 50% down payment. For judgments that are $350 and more, a payment plan requires a minimum of 20% down payment and a payment plan term of 24 months or fewer.
A lower down payment amount or longer plan length may be available to individuals experiencing financial hardship. This requires the submission of additional information and income certification. For more information, contact the Department of Finance via our customer service portal at www.nyc.gov/parkingticketpaymentplans.
Enrolling into a parking ticket payment plan and making your payments on time will prevent enforcement actions, such as having your vehicle booted or towed.

Although your payments will be more manageable with a parking ticket payment plan, interest will continue to accrue on your outstanding balance until the amount you owe is paid in full.
Your plates may have been blocked from online payment due to multiple bounced checks or insufficient funds transactions. You may enter into a payment plan, but you must do so in a DOF business center with either cash or a money order.
