The information below pertains to Uniform Traffic Citations only.  This information does not pertain to Criminal Traffic or Misdemeanor violations:

A payment plan is a legally binding contractual arrangement between a defendant and the Clerk of Courts to defer the payment of fines, fees and court costs under F. S. 28.246.

  • Payment Plan applications are not accepted after 4PM.
  • Payment plans are not available on cases that have been sent to a Collections Agency or to individuals who have a prior unsuccessfully completed payment plan unless the prior plan is paid in full.
  • The payment plan set up fee of $25 is required to be paid at the time the plan is established, under F. S. 28.24 (26)(c).
  • Information given on the payment plan contract is subject to verification by the Clerk’s office.


The Clerk charges a one time fee for processing each payment plan of $25.00 in accordance with F. S. 28.24(26)(c). Multiple cases cannot be added together to avoid paying $25.00 for each payment plan. Each case is to have its own separate payment plan. This processing charge is required to be paid at the time the payment plan is set up.


The extensions are as follows:

Up to $250.00 = 3 Months to pay

$250.01- $500.00 = 6 Months to pay

$500.01 - $800.00 = 12 Months to Pay

$800.01- $1,500.00 = 18 Months to pay

Over $1,500 = 24 Months to pay


If an individual fails to make payment on a payment plan contract, the Clerk of Courts may charge a late fee of $23, may suspend your driver’s license, refuse to issue a reinstatement of your driver’s license, refuse to issue another payment plan, and/or turn your account over to a collection agency. All of these sanctions will add to your debt to the Clerk. Accounts turned over to a collection agency may be assessed up to an additional 40% collection agency service charge in addition to the balance due to the Clerk, F.S. 28.246(6)

Payments on payment plans are required every month; however, payment in full is accepted at any time without a pre-payment penalty. Payments are accepted in person between 8:00a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding courthouse holidays.

Payment plans may be paid via cash, check, money order, cashier’s check or credit card.
