Search Coconut Creek Traffic Tickets

Traffic ticket records for Coconut Creek are processed by the Broward County Clerk of Courts. Coconut Creek is in the northern part of Broward County with about 75,000 residents. The Coconut Creek Police Department handles most local traffic enforcement, but citations from the Broward Sheriff's Office and FHP also come through the area. Every ticket ends up at the Broward Clerk no matter which agency wrote it. Florida law gives you 30 days from the date of the citation to respond. The Clerk's Traffic North branch in Deerfield Beach is the closest office for most Coconut Creek drivers.

Broward County Clerk Processes Coconut Creek Tickets

All traffic citations from Coconut Creek go through the Broward County Clerk of Courts. Under Florida Statute 318.14, you must take action within 30 calendar days from the issue date. That means paying the fine, electing traffic school, or requesting a hearing. New citations can take 5 to 10 business days to enter the system after the officer writes them.

The Broward Clerk runs four traffic service locations across the county. The Traffic North branch at the North Regional Courthouse is at 1600 West Hillsboro Boulevard, Room 181, in Deerfield Beach. That is the closest one for Coconut Creek residents. It handles payments, traffic school elections, hearing requests, and payment plans. The main office at 201 SE 6th Street in Fort Lauderdale is another option but further away. You can use whichever branch works best for you.

The department uses the standard Florida Uniform Traffic Citation form. Visit the city website at coconutcreek.net for local police information and services.

The Broward Sheriff's Office and FHP troopers also issue citations on roads that run through or near Coconut Creek. The Sawgrass Expressway and the Florida Turnpike are both close by, and troopers patrol those roads regularly. It does not matter which agency gave you the ticket. All Coconut Creek citations end up at the Broward Clerk for processing. The same 30-day deadline and the same options apply regardless of the officer who wrote it.

Paying Coconut Creek Traffic Tickets

Paying a traffic ticket is a guilty plea. Points go on your license for moving violations. The base fine for a standard moving violation is $60 under Florida Statute 318.18, not counting court costs and surcharges. Nonmoving violations start at $30.

Speeding fines work on a sliding scale. Going 6 to 9 mph over the limit costs $25. At 10 to 14 mph over, the fine is $100. For 15 to 19 mph over, you pay $150. The fine is $175 for 20 to 29 mph over. At 30 mph or more over, the fine is $250 and the court must adjudicate you guilty. School zone and construction zone tickets double the base speeding fine. Miss the 30-day deadline and a $16 late fee gets added.

Online payments work through the Broward Clerk website or the PayFLClerk statewide portal. Select Broward County to start. Credit and debit cards are accepted with a convenience fee. Mail a check or money order to P.O. Box 14610, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33302-4610. In-person payments are taken at any branch location. Cash at AMSCOT locations carries no added clerk fee. Payment plans are available in person with a $25 processing fee per case.

Traffic School for Coconut Creek Drivers

Coconut Creek drivers can elect the Basic Driver Improvement course to avoid points. This option comes with an 18% fine reduction. The court withholds adjudication, so no conviction goes on your record. Contact the Broward Clerk within 30 days to make this election. Pay the reduced fine and any fees, then complete the course.

You have 90 days from the citation date to finish the course and file the completion certificate with the Clerk. Send the original certificate. Florida limits traffic school to five times in a lifetime. You can only use it once every 12 months. CDL holders are not eligible. Tickets for 30 mph or more over the limit do not qualify. Failing to complete the course on time means the full fine, late fee, and points all kick in. Find approved courses at flhsmv.gov.

Contesting a Coconut Creek Ticket

You can fight any traffic citation issued in Coconut Creek. Tell the Broward Clerk within 30 days that you want a hearing. The court will pick a date. If you lose, the fine can go up to $500 for most violations. School zone and construction zone violations carry a $1,000 max.

Not responding has real consequences. A $16 late fee applies after 30 days under Florida Statute 318.15. After 180 days with no action, the Clerk notifies the FLHSMV and your license gets suspended. Clearing it means paying all fines and a $60 reinstatement fee. The suspension stays on your driving record for seven years. It is always better to respond before the deadline passes.

The Broward Clerk website has an online search tool for traffic citations. You can look up tickets by citation number, name, or case number. The system shows the fine amount, status, and options still open to you. New tickets need a few business days before they appear in the online system.

The statewide PayFLClerk portal lets you look up and pay Broward County tickets. Check your license status and points at the MyDMV Portal. These are separate systems. The Clerk handles the ticket.
