If you received a citation for improper or unsafe equipment, under Florida Statute 316.610, you have the opportunity to elect a reduced fine payment. In order to obtain this option you must have a law enforcement agency inspect the vehicle and sign the back of the yellow copy of the citation. The signed citation must be presented to the Clerk of Court within thirty (30) calendar days. Bring or mail the signed yellow citation with a reduced payment of $14.00 to the Clerk’s Office within 30 calendar days of receiving the citation. Please send your request to the mailing address provided above. If you choose not to have the equipment repaired, you must pay the regular fine amount.
