What if my fine is overdue or I need an extension?
If you received a payable traffic ticket from Broward County, your payment must be received in the Clerk's Office within 30 calendar days of the date you received your citation as noted on the information you were given by the law enforcement officer. Failure to comply will result in the suspension of your driver license and additional delinquent fees will be assessed.
If you have appeared in court and previously were given time to pay your fine by the Judge or Hearing Officer, and are now requiring additional time to pay your fine, you must request this extension in writing, for consideration. Please make this request to the Judge or Hearing Officer you appeared before. If you do not remember the Judge or Hearing Officer's name, you may address the request to the "Honorable Judge of the County Court". Please forward your request to the Broward Clerk of Courts.
Once the Judge or Hearing Officer has rendered a decision, the Clerk's Office will advise you of the decision by mail.
