The Coral Springs Police Department is the main agency writing traffic citations in the city.

Coral Springs PD uses the Florida Uniform Traffic Citation form that all agencies statewide use. After the officer writes the ticket, it goes to the Broward Clerk. It can take 5 to 10 days for new tickets to appear in the system.
Visit the city website at coralsprings.gov for information on local police services and community programs. The Broward Sheriff's Office and FHP may also issue citations on state roads and highways passing through Coral Springs. The Sawgrass Expressway runs along the city's western edge, and FHP troopers are often there. All tickets, no matter the issuing agency, end up with the Broward Clerk for processing.
Paying Coral Springs Traffic Tickets
Paying a Coral Springs traffic ticket means you plead guilty. Points will go on your license for moving violations. Under Florida Statute 318.18, fines for moving violations start at $60 before court costs and surcharges. Speeding fines range from $25 for 6-9 mph over the limit to $250 for 30 mph or more over. Court costs for a moving violation add $35. School zone and construction zone speeding doubles the base fine.
You have several ways to pay. Online, go to browardclerk.org or use the PayFLClerk statewide portal and select Broward County. The PayIt app works too. All online payments carry a processing fee. Cash payments at any AMSCOT location in Florida have no additional clerk fee. Mail a check or money order to P.O. Box 14610, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33302-4610. Do not send cash. In person, the Traffic North branch in Deerfield Beach is the most convenient for Coral Springs residents.
Payment plans are available if you cannot pay everything at once. You must go in person to set one up. Bring your ID. There is a $25 processing fee per case. Plan payments have to be made by mail or in person.
Traffic School for Coral Springs Drivers
Coral Springs drivers can elect a Basic Driver Improvement course to avoid points and get an 18% reduction in the fine amount. This option keeps adjudication off your record. Contact the Broward Clerk within 30 days of receiving your citation to elect traffic school. You pay the reduced fine plus a $7.00 affidavit fee. Then finish the course within 90 days and send the original completion certificate to the Clerk.
The rules for traffic school are the same across the state. You can only use this option five times in your life. It is limited to once per 12-month stretch. CDL holders are not eligible. Tickets for going 30 mph or more over the limit do not qualify. If you fail to complete the course on time, you face the full fine, a late fee, points on your record, and a possible license suspension. Find approved courses at flhsmv.gov.
Contesting a Coral Springs Ticket
You have the right to fight any traffic ticket issued in Coral Springs. Contact the Broward Clerk within 30 days to request a hearing. If the court finds you guilty, the penalty can be up to $500 for most violations or $1,000 for school and construction zone tickets.
A conditional plea of no contest is available for eligible civil traffic citations that did not involve a crash. This skips the hearing. No points go on your license, and adjudication is withheld. Submit the plea by email at TrafficeClerk@browardclerk.org or by mail. Missing the 30-day window costs a $16 late fee. After 180 days of no response, the FLHSMV issues a license suspension. You then need to clear the ticket and pay a $60 reinstatement charge. The suspension stays on your driving record for seven years.
