If you were issued a traffic ticket in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, or any other county in Florida, you may be wondering, “Where do I pay my traffic ticket?”
However, before you pay that traffic ticket (also known as a citation), our traffic ticket lawyer wants to make sure you understand the consequences of doing so.
In Florida, paying a traffic ticket is an admission of guilt. Depending on the charge, this can result in points, license suspension, and an increase in your insurance premiums

Fortunately, at TicketFit, our traffic lawyer has provided three questions for you to answer to know if you can safely pay that ticket:
- Does your traffic ticket carry points? Common traffic infractions that carry points include speeding, running a stop sign, and accident tickets. If your ticket carries points, DON’T pay it. Instead, call our attorney at (305) 775-3720 for help.
- Is your traffic ticket late or in collections? If so, don’t panic. Even if a citation is past due or with a collection agency, our attorney can help.
- Is your driver’s license already suspended? Don’t rush into paying your ticket without first consulting with our attorney. In most cases, he can clear your suspension within 24 to 48 hours and still fight the underlying traffic infraction.
However, if your case already went to court and was CLOSED, you can safely pay your ticket. To do so, select any of the following options:
Option 1: Pay By Phone
Most counties in Florida allow you to pay your traffic ticket over the phone. For your convenience, here are those telephone numbers:
- Miami-Dade County Clerk of the Courts: 305-275-1111
- Broward County Clerk of Courts: 954-831-6565
- Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts: 561-355-2994

Option 2: Pay In Person
Alternatively, you can pay in person by visiting the Clerk of the Courts of the County in which your ticket was issued in. For example:
- Miami-Dade County: 1351 NW 12th Street, Miami, Florida 33125
- Broward County: 201 SE 6th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301
- Palm Beach County: 205 N. Dixie Hwy. West Palm Beach, FL 33401
Option 3: Pay Online
Lastly, and probably the easiest way, is paying online. Just make sure you have your ticket/citation number ready when searching for your case.
