Are their any additional fees or penalties incurred by being on the payment program?
Yes, if you choose to make monthly payments, there is a one-time $25.00 administrative assessment for making partial payments pursuant to FS 28.24(26)(c). There is also a $10.00 per month late fee if a late notice is generated. Further, the clerk will request suspension of your Florida Drivers License for failing to meet your financial obligation to the court. Failure to appear in court will result in a writ of bodily attachment (Blue Writ) being issued for your arrest and an additional $20 fee for issuing the writ.
