Broward Clerk Manages Weston Traffic Records
The Broward County Clerk of Courts is in charge of all traffic ticket records for Weston. Clerk Brenda D. Forman heads the office. Since Weston relies on the Broward Sheriff's Office for policing, most tickets are written by BSO deputies. The Florida Highway Patrol also issues citations on highways that pass through or near the city, like I-75 and I-595. No matter the issuing agency, the Broward Clerk handles the case from that point forward.

Under Florida Statute 318.14, the 30-day clock starts the day the officer hands you the ticket. That deadline is firm. Miss it and a $16 late fee gets tacked on. If you still do nothing after 180 days, the state can suspend your license entirely.
The Traffic West branch in Plantation is about a 15-minute drive from most parts of Weston. It handles payments, traffic school elections, hearing requests, and payment plans. Walk-in visits are first come, first served. Phone hours for all branches run Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
How to Pay a Weston Traffic Ticket
Paying a Weston traffic ticket is a guilty plea. Points go on your license for moving violations. You can choose from several payment methods.
Online payment is the most popular option. Go to browardclerk.org or use PayFLClerk.com and select Broward County. A small processing fee applies. Phone payments work through (954) 831-6565. Mail a check or money order to P.O. Box 14610, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33302-4610. Make it out to "Clerk of the Court." Do not mail cash. In-person payments are accepted at all four Broward traffic branches. Cash payments at any AMSCOT location carry no extra clerk fee.
Fine amounts follow Florida Statute 318.18. Moving violations start at $60 before court costs. Nonmoving tickets start at $30. Speeding fines are $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. Fines double in school zones and active construction zones. Court costs and surcharges add to the total.
If you cannot pay all at once, payment plans are available. Visit a branch in person with your ID. The clerk charges a $25 processing fee per case for setting up a plan. Plan payments can only be made by mail or in person.
Weston Citation Response Options
Three options exist after getting a ticket in Weston. You pick one within the 30-day window.
Pay the fine. The case closes right away. It is the quickest path, but you accept the charge. Points hit your record for moving violations. Nonmoving tickets do not carry points.
Elect traffic school. You pay the fine with an 18% discount and take a Basic Driver Improvement course. The clerk withholds adjudication, which means no conviction on your record. You must finish the course within 90 days. CDL holders are not eligible. Tickets for 30 mph or more over the speed limit do not qualify. The option is limited to five times in your life and once per 12 months.
Contest the ticket. Request a hearing through the Broward Clerk. You can also email a conditional plea of no contest to TrafficeClerk@browardclerk.org for eligible citations. This avoids a court appearance. If you miss the 30-day deadline but are within 180 days, pay the $16 late fee first. After 180 days with no response, file a motion explaining the delay. If the court finds you guilty at a hearing, fines can go up to $500 for most tickets.
Traffic School for Weston Residents
Traffic school lets Weston drivers keep points off their license. The 18% reduction on the fine is a nice bonus too. Elect the course within 30 days of your citation by contacting the Broward Clerk. Pay the reduced fine and a $7.00 affidavit fee. Then finish an approved Basic Driver Improvement course within 90 days.
The state keeps a list of approved course providers. Check it at the FLHSMV approved schools page. Most courses are online. Prices vary by provider but the content is set by the state. After finishing, the school sends your completion certificate to the clerk. Call (954) 831-6565 to confirm it arrived. If it does not show up on time, you lose the discount, get full points, and risk a suspension.
Suspension Risks for Weston Drivers
A Weston traffic ticket you ignore will come back to haunt you. The FLHSMV suspends your license when you fail to respond within the allowed time. Under Florida Statute 318.15, the suspension stays active until you resolve the ticket and pay a $60 reinstatement fee. That suspension sits on your record for seven years.
Points from tickets add up. Twelve points in 12 months triggers a 30-day suspension. Eighteen points in 18 months means three months off the road. Twenty-four points in 36 months results in a one-year suspension. These point totals include tickets from across the state, not just Weston. Check your license status and point balance through the MyDMV Portal at any time.
