Before you go: 7 more things to know about this court
- The clerk's civil-traffic page prints two 'Related Fees' lists with no effective date and no base civil penalty. The second (under 'Persons cited for traffic violations select one of the following.. Note: Total payment includes fine, court costs and fees') is used as the fine totals. The first, which is also the only list on the Traffic School page, is recorded as the BDI-election totals. It is not explicitly labeled as such.
- Observation only (nothing computed into the data): for most rows the BDI total equals the pay total minus 18% of the 318.18(3) statutory base plus $7 (e.g. speeding 10-14: 219 - 18 + 7 = 208). The red light, school bus, move-over and railroad rows show only +$7. The $7 is not labeled on the Miami-Dade pages (Broward labels a $7.00 driving school affidavit fee).
- Other printed fees: late charge for payments after 30 days add'l $16. Dismissal fee or repairing defect $10. License reinstatement $60. Preparing and releasing D-6 $7. Appeal to circuit court $281. Payment plan setup $25. Additional maximum fine for injury or damage to the blind $250. Processing fee for failure to complete driving school $18.
- Citations issued 31-180 days ago: pay a $16.00 late fee to have the case set for court. More than 180 days: motion to the administrative traffic judge. Out-of-county defendants may plead not guilty in absentia by bond plus notarized affidavit of defense.
- Clerk traffic-school text says 4-hour course 'maximum of 5 times in a lifetime'. The 2026 text of F.S. 318.14(9) allows 8 lifetime elections.
- An older Mobile Portal 'Traffic Fee Schedule' page (https://www2.miamidadeclerk.gov/MobilePortal/TrafficFeeSchedule.aspx) returned HTTP 404 on 2026-11-14 and was not used.
