Bottom line up front...If you owe personal property taxes in the city of Chesapeake, you might want to pay them no later than 1 Aug.
These actions are from the City treasurer's office. They are also utilized in the cities of Portsmouth, Isle of Wright and Franklin.
Supervisors: Ensure all employees who may have contact with the public concerning the below information are informed:
The City Treasurer has contracted with Virginia Collections Company (VCC) to begin using License Plate Reader (LPR) technology to locate vehicles registered to delinquent tax payers parked or stored throughout the city. The use of a third party agent by the Treasurer is governed by Virginia State Code Section 58.1.
Upon locating and verifying a delinquent tax payer's vehicle, whether on public or private property, the VCC employee will place an immobilization boot and written notice on the vehicle explaining the steps necessary for boot removal and payment of delinquent taxes. For purposes of this activity, placing a boot on a vehicle is synonymous with the vehicle being seized by the City Treasurer.
If the owner of the vehicle has not followed the directions on the written notice by 5 p.m. on the date of seizure, a VCC representative will arrange for the vehicle to be towed to their compound on Yadkin Road in our city.
Again, is Suffolk next? Of course, be patient.

Supposedly the boots are applied to vehicles that are over a year overdue on taxes. But like everything that government does, give an inch and they take a mile. A portable grinder is far more cost effective and readily available at your nearest hardware store. The locking wheel device is made of material that is recyclable or can be disposed at the nearest ditch, empty lot, river or lake.
