HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST TO PAY MY PALM BEACH TRAFFIC TICKET?
Palm Beach Traffic Ticket Fine Amounts
Read this before paying your traffic ticket:
If you pay your traffic citation, you are
pleading guilty, waiving your right to contest the citation in court, and may be assessed points to your driving record. Please
consult with a traffic ticket attorney to discuss your options.
Non-Payable Traffic Tickets in Palm Beach County
Criminal traffic tickets and mandatory speeding
tickets are not payable. A speeding ticket is mandatory if you are charged with exceeding the speed limit by 30 mph. Mandatory
speeding tickets require a court date. You cannot elect traffic school, or choose to pay them. We strongly suggest that you
hire a traffic ticket attorney to attend the court date on your behalf.
If you wish to elect traffic school, you must notify the Palm Beach
Clerk and Comptroller of your intent to elect traffic school. You can only elect traffic school once every 12 months, and
only five times ever. There is no reduction in the penalty for traffic school elections.
Below is the Palm Beach traffic court fee schedule. Traffic ticket
fine amounts are constantly changing, so verify the amount with the Palm Beach Clerk and Comptroller before making
your payment.
