Speeding in a School Zone Camera Ticket

When camera images result in a ticket

  • When exceeding speeds over the posted school-zone limit. 
  • Enforced during the school day, including 30 minutes before classes begin and 30 minutes after dismissal.

How it Works

Florida Statute §316.1895 (automated speed enforcement in school zones) & Florida Statute §316.0776 (speed detection systems; 30-day public awareness rule)

  • The registered owner of the vehicle is issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) in the mail. At this stage it is considered a warning only. However the warning carries a $100 fine. 
  • Options – 1. Pay the $100 fine by the due date with no points, court costs or reporting, matter closed. 2.  Fail to respond by the due date and the registered owner of the vehicle will be issued a standard traffic citation. The fine will more than double to $219 with added court costs. If you received a letter from us then you are at option 2. You are past the warning stage and the county has opened a standard traffic citation case against you.

  • Important: Claiming you never received the NOV in the mail is NOT a valid defense and will not work!
  • Important: the ticket date may be recent but the actual speeding infraction may have occurred several weeks earlier. 

What happens if I Fail To Respond To The TRaffic Citation?

  • At this stage, a failure to respond will result in suspension of your license and holds placed on your vehicle registration. The amounts due could be sent to collections.
