Traffic Division

 

The Traffic Division is the largest single court-related area of the Clerk's Office.  The Traffic Division is responsible for processing all traffic citations issued by the Kissimmee Police Department, St. Cloud Police Department, Osceola County Sheriff's Department, the Florida Highway Patrol (when issued in Osceola County), and other state law enforcement agencies.  Cases filed in the Traffic Division are:  criminal traffic violations, traffic infractions (cases involving a civil penalty/fine and not punishable by a term in the county jail) and parking tickets.

The Traffic Division is located at 2 Courthouse Square, Kissimmee, Florida.  Individuals with citations report there to satisfy citations, schedule court and schools, and seek other information.  Traffic Court is held in the Osceola County Courthouse.

We have cashiers available where customers can elect an option (as defined below), pay a fine, or show proof of compliance to satisfy a traffic citation.  Technology plays a key role in allowing the Clerk's Office to process a case quickly.  The Clerk of Court is authorized by Florida Statutes to reinstate the drivers license and privilege to drive when a person complies with all obligations and penalties imposed.  

If you have been issued a traffic citation, please read the following:

You must comply exactly with one of the following procedures to prevent a delinquency fee of $18.00 (plus a $47.50 reinstatement fee) and your driving privilege from being suspended and/or an arrest warrant being issued:

  1.  MAIL PAYMENT - (Points will be assessed) - Make cashier's check or money order payable to Clerk of the Court, in accordance with the civil penalty indicated on the back of your citation.  Include the yellow copy of your citation affix proper postage and mail.

  2.  REQUEST DRIVER IMPROVEMENT SCHOOL - Make cashier's check or money order payable to:  Clerk of the Court.   Complete the enclosed Affidavit before either a Deputy Clerk or Notary Public.  Enclose original (white) copy of the Affidavit and yellow copy of your citation, proper payment amount, affix proper postage and mail.  Request for School and Payment must be RECEIVED by the Traffic Division within thirty (30) Calendar days from issue date of citation or your school option will be denied. It is entirely your responsibility to enroll in driving school.  You are also responsible for filing a completion with this office within the time limit specified.
