Paying Pompano Beach Traffic Tickets

Paying your ticket means you plead guilty. Points will be added to your license for moving violations. Under Florida Statute 318.18, a standard moving violation has a $60 base fine before surcharges and court costs. Nonmoving violations are $30. Speeding fines scale with speed: $25 for 6 to 9 mph over, $100 for 10 to 14 over, $150 for 15 to 19 over, $175 for 20 to 29 over, and $250 for 30 or more over. School zone and construction zone violations double the base fine.

Pay online through the Broward Clerk website or the PayFLClerk statewide portal. The PayIt app works for Broward tickets too. A processing fee applies to all card payments. Cash payments at any AMSCOT location in Florida go to the Clerk with no extra fee. Mail a check or money order to P.O. Box 14610, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33302-4610. Never mail cash. In person, the Traffic North office in Deerfield Beach is the most convenient for Pompano Beach residents.

Traffic School for Pompano Beach Drivers

A Basic Driver Improvement course keeps points off your license and cuts the fine by 18%. Contact the Broward Clerk within 30 days of your citation to elect traffic school. Pay the reduced fine plus a $7.00 affidavit fee. Then complete the course within 90 days.

CDL holders are not eligible. Tickets for 30 mph or more over the speed limit do not qualify. You get five lifetime elections, limited to once per 12-month period. After completing the course, send the original certificate to the Broward Clerk. Do not count on the school to submit it. If you fail to finish on time, you face the full fine, a late fee, points on your record, and possible license suspension. Find approved courses at flhsmv.gov.

Fighting a Pompano Beach Traffic Ticket

You can contest any traffic ticket issued in Pompano Beach. Tell the Broward Clerk within 30 days that you want a court hearing. You can do this in person, by phone, by mail, or by email at TrafficeClerk@browardclerk.org. If the court finds you guilty, the fine can go 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. No hearing is needed. No points go on your license and adjudication is withheld. Submit the plea by email or mail. This option saves time. You still pay the fine amount, but you avoid points and a court appearance.

Missing the 30-day window adds a $16 late fee under Florida Statute 318.15. After 180 days without action, the Clerk notifies the FLHSMV to suspend your license. Getting it back requires paying all fines plus a $60 reinstatement fee through the MyDMV portal. That suspension stays on your record for seven years.
