About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Louisiana R.S. 32:1741 declares that immobilizing vehicles by booting affects the public interest, and conditions the business on a $10,000 continuing bond deposited with the parish or municipality, with a commercial surety authorized to do business in the state and approved by that local authority.

The bond is conditioned on faithful observance of the booting statute and any local booting ordinances. It indemnifies any person who suffers a loss because the operator failed to observe those provisions, or who suffers loss, damages, or expense from a vehicle that was not properly booted.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim to a harmed vehicle owner, you repay the surety. Operators who follow the statute and local ordinances treat the bond as a permit formality, and we keep your $10,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

R.S. 32:1741 (immobilization by booting)Louisiana Revised Statutes 32:1741 requires a person operating a motor vehicle booting business to deposit with the parish or municipality a continuing $10,000 bond, with a commercial surety authorized in Louisiana and approved by that authority, conditioned on faithful observance of the booting statute and local ordinances and to indemnify anyone harmed by improper booting. Local parish or municipal ordinances may add their own permit terms — confirm them with the authority that issues your permit.

Starting a vehicle-booting business that immobilizes cars on private property
Renewing a booting permit your parish or municipality conditions on a bond
A parking-enforcement contractor booting vehicles for lots, apartments, or businesses
Expanding into a new parish that requires its own bond on file

Five minutes. The whole thing.

These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300 — a flat 3% of the bond amount. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability to people harmed by improper booting; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
Your parish or municipality, under Louisiana R.S. 32:1741. The statute requires a $10,000 continuing bond, approved by that local authority, before you can run a booting business on private property.
What does the bond guarantee? +
That you observe the booting statute and any local booting ordinances. If you fail to and someone is harmed by improper booting, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price: the rate is a flat 3% either way. Credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
When does it renew? +
The statute calls for a continuing bond, so it must stay active for as long as you operate. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
