SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — On Tuesday, the Sandy Springs City Council unanimously approved an ordinance to prevent predatory car booting in the city.
Under the ordinance, booters’ signs are required to be doubled from their previous size to 48 inches high and 36 inches wide. Those signs will only be at the entrances of parking lots.
Currently, the city only has 41 companies that are permitted to place boots on cars. Those who are not compliant will receive a citation.
The change comes after the mayor, council members, city staff, and the City Attorney’s Office received numerous complaints about vehicles being booted.
A settlement was recently reached in a class action suit against a major booting service in the metro Atlanta area.
Members of the class action suit will divide the $5 million settlement.
