Before you go: 7 more things to know about this court

No civil traffic penalty schedule (per-violation base or total amounts) was found on duvalclerk.gov on 2026-11-14. The traffic page says 'the correct fee required by Florida Statute will be assessed' if an officer writes an incorrect amount on the citation. The Clerk's Fee Schedules page lists general, appeals and civil fees but no traffic penalties.
Duval County is consolidated with the City of Jacksonville, so a consolidated-government surcharge under F.S. 318.18(15) may apply. The Clerk's traffic and fee-schedule pages do not mention or quantify any such surcharge or any county court-facilities surcharge.
Amounts the Clerk does print: $10.00 dismissal fee when a valid license, registration or insurance is proven. $7.00 affidavit fee (proof-of-compliance affidavit, or an un-notarized school-election affidavit). Faulty equipment affidavit of compliance at a reduced fee of $98.00 plus a $4.00 law-enforcement certification fee. DL reinstatement $60.00 plus the amount due and the delinquent fee. A 30% collection surcharge once a case goes to collections. Partial payment plan one-time processing fee $25.00 (Fee Schedules page). Duval prints $98.00 for faulty equipment where Orange County prints $94.00.
Mandatory court appearance list on the Clerk's page includes 'Speed 30+ MPH in excess of posted speed limits', consistent with F.S. 318.19(5) (2026 text: 30 mph or more).
Neptune Beach Branch: Tradewinds Plaza, 1543 Atlantic Blvd., Neptune Beach, FL 32266, Mon-Fri (excluding holidays) 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Payment extensions: a one-time 30-day extension, requested in person within 30 days. Requesting one waives the right to a court date and the dismissal and reduced-fine options. Mailed payments must be received, not postmarked, within 30 days. No grace period.
Court dates can be set online at https://www.duvalclerk.com/setCourtDate/, by fax, by mail or in person. They are not set by phone.
