TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS SURCHARGE OF $30
The county collects a $30 fee (surcharge) on non-criminal traffic infractions to help pay for the
court system. The surcharge generated $1.77 million 2011 and $1.93 million in 2010. In 2009,
the Florida Legislature allowed counties to increase the fee from $15.00 to $30.00, which the
county did in November 2009. At that time, The Board of County Commissioners requested that
the fee be reviewed in two years. The revenue goes to the Courts Fund and reduces the General
Fund subsidy for court operations.
OPTIONS:
A. Continue the fee as is.
B. Reduce it back to $15.00
RECOMMENDATION:
Continue the $30.00 surcharge.
Assistant County Manager Pete Winton briefly reviewed the item and recommend continuance of the fee.
Commissioner Hall requested the fee be reviewed in 36 months. During Board discussion, Mr. Winton agreed to
provide an analysis of the funds generated by the surcharge. Board consensus was for Mr. Winton to furnish the
Board the analysis of the surcharge driven by infractions.
