Broward County Processes Miramar Traffic Cases

All Miramar traffic court records are filed with the Broward County Clerk of Courts. Florida does not have city-run traffic courts. Every traffic citation from Miramar, along with every other city in Broward County, goes through the same county clerk system. The clerk processes the citations, collects fines, manages court hearings, and stores the records.

The nearest Broward County courthouse to Miramar is the Traffic South location at 3550 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, Room 200. This office handles the same services as the main courthouse in Fort Lauderdale. It is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. You can pay a Miramar traffic fine, file a plea, or get copies of traffic court records at this location. Call the Broward County traffic line at 954-831-6565 for help with your case. The Broward County Clerk Traffic and Misdemeanor Division page has online payment tools, forms, and detailed instructions.

Miramar residents can use any of the four Broward County traffic court locations. The Central office in Fort Lauderdale, the North office in Deerfield Beach, and the West office in Plantation all handle the same services for Miramar traffic records.

The clerk's online tools pull data from every court division in Broward County, including traffic and misdemeanor cases from Miramar.

Florida's public records law protects your right to see these records. Under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, all government records are open for inspection and copying. Miramar traffic court records fall under this rule. Anyone can look them up. Social security numbers and bank data stay hidden, but case facts and outcomes are public. Sealed or expunged cases will not appear in the search results.

Miramar Citation Options and Deadlines

After getting a traffic ticket in Miramar, you have 30 calendar days to respond. This applies to civil traffic infractions under Chapter 316 of the Florida Statutes. The FLHSMV lists three main options: pay the fine, elect traffic school, or plead not guilty.

Paying the fine closes the case but counts as a guilty plea. Points go on your driving record. Electing traffic school lets you pay the fine while keeping points off your license. The court withholds adjudication, so no conviction shows up on your Miramar traffic court record. You can use the school option five times in your life and once per year. Pleading not guilty gives you a court date to challenge the citation. Broward County also has a Conditional Plea of No Contest for some civil infractions that lets you avoid both court and license points.

Here are the ways to pay a Miramar traffic citation:

• Online through the Broward County Clerk or payflclerk.com
• In person at any of the four Broward County court locations
• By mail to P.O. Box 14610, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33302-4610
• At any Florida AMSCOT location
• Through the PayIt mobile app

Do not miss the 30-day window. Late fees get added right away. Under Florida Statute 318.18, penalty amounts vary by violation type. Missing the deadline can also trigger a license suspension from the state.

Miramar Traffic Court Fees

Fine amounts for Miramar traffic citations depend on what you were cited for. Moving violations carry higher fines than non-moving ones. Speeding fines increase based on how far over the posted limit you were driving. The Broward County Clerk collects all fines and fees for Miramar traffic cases at any of their four locations.

If your fine goes unpaid for more than 90 days, it gets turned over to a collection agency under Florida Statute 28.246. That agency can add up to 40% in fees on top of what you already owe. A $200 fine can easily become $280. Getting copies of Miramar traffic court records costs $1.00 per page for plain copies and $2.00 per page for certified copies. Driver license history reports are $14.25 for a 3-year record and $16.25 for a full history. Call 954-831-6565 to check current fees or your outstanding balance.

This includes the actual court documents in many cases. Confidential items like social security numbers, bank accounts, and victim identity information stay private. Everything else in a Miramar traffic case is open to public view.
