Search Coral Springs Traffic Cases Online

The Broward County Clerk case search portal lets you look up Coral Springs traffic court records from any device. You can search by name, case number, or citation number. Results show the charge, hearing date, case status, and other details. Searching is free.

The online portal covers all court divisions in Broward County, including traffic and misdemeanor cases from Coral Springs.

Florida's public records law gives everyone the right to search these records. Under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, all state, county, and municipal records are open for inspection and copying. Coral Springs traffic court records are included. Anyone can look them up. You do not have to be the person on the ticket. Social security numbers and bank data stay hidden, but case facts, charges, and outcomes are all public information.

Coral Springs Citation Options

A traffic citation in Coral Springs gives you 30 calendar days to act. The FLHSMV lists three choices: pay the fine, elect traffic school, or plead not guilty and request a court hearing. What you pick determines how the case shows up in your Coral Springs traffic court record.

Paying the fine is a guilty plea. Points go on your license. Traffic school avoids the points. You still pay the citation but the court withholds adjudication. No conviction appears on your record. You get extra time to finish the course. Pleading not guilty sets a hearing date where you can contest the citation in front of a judge at a Broward County courthouse.

Broward County also has a Conditional Plea of No Contest. This option works for civil traffic infractions that did not involve a crash and do not require a mandatory hearing under Florida Statute 318.19. File the form with the clerk by email at TrafficeClerk@browardclerk.org or by mail. If approved, adjudication is withheld and no points go on your license. You still pay the fine amount. Submit one citation per form.

Here are the payment methods for Coral Springs traffic citations:

• By mail to P.O. Box 14610, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33302-4610

Note: Missing the 30-day deadline on a Coral Springs citation triggers late fees and can lead to a license suspension from FLHSMV.

Coral Springs Traffic Fees and Collections

Fine amounts for Coral Springs traffic citations depend on the violation type. Florida Statute 318.18 sets the penalty schedule for traffic infractions. Moving violations are more expensive than non-moving ones. Speeding fines increase based on your speed over the posted limit. The Broward County Clerk collects all fines for Coral Springs traffic cases.

Copies of Coral Springs traffic court records cost $1.00 per page for plain and $2.00 per page for certified. Driver license history records are $14.25 for a 3-year report or $16.25 for a 7-year or full history. These are available at any Broward County court location. If you need purged records from older Coral Springs traffic cases, visit a courthouse in person or send a written request to the Traffic and Misdemeanor Division.

Unpaid fines get sent to collections after 90 days. Under Florida Statute 28.246, the collection agency can add up to 40% to what you owe. A $150 Coral Springs traffic fine can turn into over $210 once collection fees get added. On top of that, the FLHSMV can suspend your license for unpaid traffic citations. Call 954-831-6565 to check your balance before it reaches that point.
