The Traffic Department maintains all records pertaining to Traffic Citations issued to persons
in Columbia County. We also collect all fines, provide a list of approved driving schools, and set
court dates for those who wish to contest their infraction violation.
If you are charged with a criminal violation (D.U.I., driving with a suspended license, driving without
a valid drivers license etc.), you must call the County Criminal Department (Misdemeanor)
within 10 days of the citation by calling (386) 758-1048.
If you are charged with a civil infraction (careless driving, speeding etc.) you must elect one of the following three options within 30 days of the citation.
- Plead not guilty
- Elect to attend a driving school and pay a fine to avoid having points assessed - DHSMV's List of statewide traffic schools.
Your Driver's License will be suspended and points will be assessed. Before your license can be reinstated,
YOU MUST: Pay the balance of the original fee, pay a $18 cancellation fee, pay a $23 late fee and pay a
$47.50 reinstatement fee to the State of Florida (if applicable)
