It usually takes 5 to 10 days for a new ticket to show up in the Clerk's system.
The Broward Sheriff's Office and the Florida Highway Patrol also have jurisdiction in parts of Miramar. I-75 passes through the western edge of the city, and FHP troopers are active there. The Turnpike is nearby too. Any ticket written by any agency in Miramar ends up at the same place: the Broward Clerk. You deal with the Clerk no matter who wrote the citation.

You can pay cash at any Florida AMSCOT location with no clerk fee. Mail a check or money order to P.O. Box 14610, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33302-4610. In person, go to any of the four Broward Clerk traffic locations. Paying the fine counts as a guilty plea. Points go on your license for moving violations.
If you cannot pay the full amount, set up a payment plan in person at a Clerk location. Bring your ID. There is a $25 processing fee per case. Plan payments go by mail or in person only. No one can set up a plan for you.
Driver Improvement Course for Miramar
Electing traffic school is often the best option for Miramar drivers who want to keep points off their license. Under Florida Statute 318.14, choosing a Basic Driver Improvement course gives you an 18% cut in the fine and keeps your record clean. Contact the Broward Clerk within 30 days. Pay the reduced fine and a $7.00 affidavit fee. Then complete the course within 90 days.
You cannot use this option if you hold a CDL. It does not work if you were speeding 30 mph or more over the limit. The lifetime cap is five elections, and you can only elect once per 12-month period. After finishing the course, send the original completion certificate to the Broward Clerk. Double-check that it was received. If you fail to complete the course on time, the full fine kicks in, points go on your record, and your license could get suspended. Check approved schools at the FLHSMV site.
Contesting a Miramar Citation
You can fight your ticket. Contact the Broward Clerk within 30 days to request a court hearing. Go in person, call the phone line, or send a written request by mail. At trial, the court can fine you up to $500 for most violations and up to $1,000 for school or construction zone tickets.
The conditional plea of no contest is another option for eligible civil citations that did not involve a crash. No hearing is needed. No points. Adjudication is withheld. Submit by email to TrafficeClerk@browardclerk.org or by mail to the Clerk. If you miss the 30-day deadline, a $16 late fee applies per Florida Statute 318.18. After 180 days with no action, the FLHSMV suspends your license. You then owe the full fine plus a $60 reinstatement charge. That suspension stays on your driving record for seven years.
