Traffic Violations Bureau
The Traffic Violations Bureau maintains all records pertaining to traffic citations issued to persons in Pasco County. We also collect all fines, assist those who elect to attend a driver improvement course, and set court dates for those who wish to contest an infraction violation.If you are charged with a civil infraction you have four options:
- Pay the fine, points will be assessed
- Plead not guilty and a court hearing will be set
- Elect to attend a driver improvement course to avoid points being assessed. An affidavit must be signed and a civil penalty must be paid with this option
- If you are unable to pay the civil penalty due to financial hardship you may request authorization from the court to satisfy your civil penalties through a public works or community service program
Check eligibility to elect driver improvement course via DHSMV
You may not elect to attend a driver improvement course if you have been charged
with a driver license, registration, insurance or non-moving violation or a mandatory
court violation, or possess a CDL driver's license.
Payment of the civil penalty waives the right to elect a driver improvement course
or request a court hearing.
Traffic Citation Guide
When you received your citation from Law Enforcement you were given a Traffic Citation Guide for the convenience of mailing in your payment and election form. This guide also provides valuable information pertaining to civil penalties, pleading not guilty, electing to attend a driver improvement course, and performing community service.
