Paylock

A system known as PayLock will be utilized to locate Fredericksburg residents who have outstanding personal property tax bills and unpaid parking citations.  PayLock works somewhat similarly to the autoChalk system already in use, in that it utilizes cameras to capture images of license plates. Once the license plate is photographed, the license plate number is immediately run through a database to determine if the vehicle’s property tax or parking citations have been paid. If the license number returns with a notice of an overdue personal property tax bill or parking citations, the vehicle will then be booted with a “self-release boot” that allows people to call a toll-free number, pay the fine over the phone, remove the boot themselves and drop it off at a predetermined location. The PayLock system will require a fee to unlock the boot once it is on a vehicle, in addition to the amount of the unpaid tax bill or parking citations.

 

“Using the PayLock system will allow us to gain improved compliance in payment of unpaid personal property tax bills and parking citations, benefiting the City and encouraging citizens to abide by the due dates,” Treasurer Haney said.
