How do I pay a traffic fine online?
The Broward County Clerk of Courts On-Line Services and Court House
Information and Payment System (954)712-7899 are provided
as a convenience to the public. Using these services in no way relieves the
defendant from the responsibility of paying a traffic fine, or making an election
in a timely manner. If the defendant finds that certain case information has
not been entered, of if any of these systems are not functional, it is still
the responsibility of the defendant to make payment or election to the Clerk
of Courts office within thirty (30) days of receiving the citation.
The defendant may use the on-line traffic fine payment service to pay a traffic
fine and, if they choose, elect the option to attend defensive driving school.
If the defendant elects the option to attend defensive driving school, they are
responsible for locating, registering and completing the driving school in which
they choose to attend within ninety (90) days of electing the option.
