Clerk’s offices throughout Florida will be hosting Operation Green Light events during April 6 - April 20.
For information on paying court fines and traffic tickets issued outside of Okeechobee County, please contact the local Clerk’s office in that county.
Why is the Clerk's office doing this?
We want to help people in Florida who have criminal fines and traffic tickets that have resulted in their license being suspended. We want to help people save money by waiving the 30% collections surcharge for tickets that are more than 90 days overdue.
What if my tickets isn't in collections? Can I still get my late fees and interest waived?
No, all late fees associated with overdue tickets or interest on criminal fines are statutorily required and must still be paid regardless of whether the ticket was sent to collections. Only the 30% collections surcharge will be waived for those who have cases that have been turned over to a collections agency.
