HOW DO I PAY A TRAFFIC TICKET?

Upon receipt of a traffic ticket for an infraction. You have 30 days from the date of issuance to exercise any of the following three options:

1. Pay the ticket
2. Take a driver improvement course
3. Enter a plea of not guilty
4. Enter a plea of nolo contendere

Option 1 – Pay the Ticket

If you choose to pay the ticket, points could be assessed against your driver’s license, and you must pay the fine within 30 days of the date you received the ticket.

Option 2 – Driver’s Improvement School

If you choose to take a driver improvement course, you must sign the Driver Improvement Course Affidavit Form and file it with the Clerk’s office along with the payment for the ticket. Upon receipt of your affidavit and ticket payment you will be granted an extra 30 to 60 days to attend a driver improvement school in the State of Florida.  Failure to attend the school or pay the fine will result in late fees being assessed and potential suspension of your driver license.  However, with successful completion of the driver improvement school no points will be assessed against your driver’s license.

Option 3 – Enter a plea of not guilty

You must appear at court as noted on your citation, or you can send an Affidavit of Defense or Admission and Waiver of Appearance form to the Clerk’s office. If you cannot appear in court, you must file this form with the Clerk.
