Davie Traffic Court Records

Davie traffic court records are handled by the Broward County Clerk of Courts. All traffic citations issued in Davie go through the Broward County court system for processing and filing. The town sits in the western part of Broward County with more than 112,000 residents. You can search Davie traffic court records online, pay fines through several methods, or visit the West Regional Courthouse in nearby Plantation. This page covers how to find, pay, and resolve Davie traffic cases through the Broward County Clerk.

Broward County Clerk Handles Davie Traffic Cases

Florida does not run city-level traffic courts. Every Davie traffic citation goes to the Broward County Clerk of Courts for processing and record keeping. The clerk's main office is at 201 SE 6th Street in Fort Lauderdale, but Davie residents have a closer option. The West Regional Courthouse at 100 North Pine Island Road in Plantation is just minutes from Davie. Room 110 handles traffic cases there. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Under Chapter 316 of the Florida Statutes, the same traffic laws apply in Davie as in every other part of the state. When a Davie police officer or FHP trooper writes a ticket, the citation gets filed with the Broward County Clerk. That filing creates a public record. The Broward County Clerk Traffic and Misdemeanor Division manages the full process from the time a Davie citation is filed until the case is closed or sent to collections.

Search Davie Traffic Records Online

The Broward County Clerk runs an online case search tool. It covers all Davie traffic court records along with cases from every other city in the county. You can search by name, case number, or citation number. Results show the charge, hearing dates, fine amounts, and case status. The search is free to use.

The Broward County Clerk's case search portal is where Davie traffic records can be found online.

The clerk's site pulls up all court divisions, so make sure you filter for traffic cases when searching for Davie records specifically.

Under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, Florida's public records law, anyone can look up and copy court records. Davie traffic court records fall under this law. You don't need to be the person named on the ticket. Personal details like social security numbers stay private, but the rest of the case is open. You can also search through MyFLCourtAccess, the statewide court records portal that includes Broward County data.

Note: Sealed or expunged Davie traffic cases will not appear in any online search results.

Davie Traffic Citation Payment Options

Civil traffic infractions in Davie must be paid within 30 calendar days from the date the ticket was issued. This is not flexible. If you miss the deadline, the Broward County Clerk adds a late fee and the state can suspend your license. The fine amount depends on the violation type. Speeding fines go up with each mile per hour over the limit. Non-moving violations cost less than moving ones.

Davie residents can pay traffic citations in these ways:

• Online through the Broward County Clerk's payment portal
• At any Florida AMSCOT location with cash
• By mail to P.O. Box 14610, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33302-4610
• In person at the West Regional Courthouse in Plantation or any Broward traffic office
• Through the PayIt mobile app

You can also use PayFLClerk, a statewide payment site that works for all 67 Florida counties. Keep in mind that paying your Davie traffic fine counts as a guilty plea. The Florida DHSMV will add points to your driving record for most moving violations. Under Florida Statute 318.18, the penalty schedule sets specific fine ranges for each type of traffic offense in Davie and across the state.

Conditional Plea for Davie Traffic Tickets

Broward County has a Conditional Plea of No Contest option. This is one of the best ways for Davie drivers to handle a traffic ticket without getting points on their license. You fill out a form and submit it to the clerk. No court hearing is needed.

The conditional plea works for civil traffic infractions that did not involve a crash. It also can't be a citation that requires a mandatory hearing. If the court approves it, adjudication is withheld on your Davie traffic case. That means no conviction goes on your record and no points hit your license. You still pay the full fine. But for many Davie residents, keeping a clean driving record is worth the cost. Submit one form per citation. You can email it to the clerk or mail it to the P.O. Box address listed above.

Note: Conditional pleas are not available for criminal traffic offenses or any citation that Florida law says requires a mandatory court appearance.

Davie Traffic Court Fees and Costs

Traffic fine amounts in Davie vary by violation. The Broward County Clerk collects all fines. If you need copies of your Davie traffic court records, plain copies cost $1.00 per page. Certified copies run $2.00 per page. You might need certified copies for insurance disputes or out-of-state license transfers.

Driver license history records are also available through the clerk. A 3-year driving history costs $14.25. A 7-year or full history costs $16.25. These reports show all traffic violations on your record, not just Davie cases. You can get them at any Broward County court location. If you need records from an old Davie traffic case that has been purged from the system, go in person and ask for a purged record search.

Unpaid Davie traffic fines have real consequences. After 90 days without payment, the Broward County Clerk can send your case to a collection agency under Florida Statute 28.246. The collection agency can add up to 40% to your balance. A $200 fine becomes $280 fast. On top of that, the state will suspend your license if the fine stays unpaid. Call 954-831-6565 to check on any outstanding Davie traffic court cases.

Traffic School Options in Davie

Davie drivers who get a traffic ticket can sometimes elect to attend traffic school. This option can keep points off your license. Broward County allows it for most civil infractions. But there are limits. You can only use traffic school once in a 12-month period and no more than three times in your lifetime. CDL holders are not eligible for this option at all.

When you choose traffic school for a Davie traffic case, you must complete the course within the timeframe set by the court. Online courses are accepted. Check with the Broward County Clerk to make sure your specific citation qualifies. The clerk's phone number is 954-831-6565. You need to let them know before your 30-day payment deadline that you want to take this route. Otherwise, you lose the option.
