Parking Ticket Refunds

The City of Worcester Treasurer & Collector's Office may issue a refund check to someone who paid in error. There must be no balance on the account. The check will be issued to the person who made the second payment.

Example: Your vehicle is issued a parking violation, Honda lease sends in a check for the ticket amount and a few days later you send in a check paying the same ticket. The Treasurer & Collector's Office will refund the money to you. If there is an outstanding violation on the account, the money will be applied to the outstanding ticket.

A refund may take between 4 - 6 weeks to be processed. The checks are issued through the City of Worcester Treasurer's Office.

Vehicle Booting

Placing a Boot on a VehicleThe goal of the Vehicle Immobilization Booting Program is to encourage compliance with parking ordinances and to capture delinquent parking ticket fines. Accordingly, it is essential to implement a policy of immobilization as the ultimate penalty to encourage compliance. This process involves the attachment of a clamping device on the wheels of a vehicle to immobilize it until all delinquent tickets have been paid by the owner. Vehicles can be booted for having 5 or more unpaid parking tickets from the City of Worcester.

The Immobilization Boot may be removed after all violations and fines are paid including an immobilization fee of $75. Cash, money order or credit card payments (no checks) are accepted.

You must notify the Department of Transportation & Mobility Parking & Curbside Management Group that payment has been made in full in order to request that the Boot be removed.
