Traffic Department
The Traffic Department 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.Driver's License Records
A person may obtain his/her driver's license history from the Clerk & Comptroller's Office. The base fees are $14.25 for a 3 year history and $16.25 for a 7 year or lifetime history. Additional charges may apply. See Section 5 of Ch. Law 2010-163.If you are charged with a civil infraction you have four options:
- Pay the fine, points will be assessed if applicable
- 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
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 without election of a driver improvement course waives your right
to elect.
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.
