Latest version.

  • (a)

    Pursuant to the requirements of sections 318.325, 316.1967(6), and 320.03(8), Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time, the processing, and collection of parking citations is hereby delegated to the Broward County Clerk of Courts, Seventeenth Judicial Circuit.

    (b)

    If an alleged violator of any parking, standing, or stopping ordinance, any provision of this code, or of any law does not respond to a notice or citation issued and affixed to the subject motor vehicle within ten (10) working days from the date of issuance, then the Clerk of the Broward County Court shall notify the alleged violator that if the applicable amount of the citation, plus late fees, are not paid within a period of ten (10) working days from the date of the notice, proceedings may be instituted in which a fine may be imposed in excess of that shown on the notice of the citation.

    (c)

    A late fee of twelve dollars ($12.00) is established and must be paid in connection with the payment of any parking violation fine which is paid more than ten (10) working days after the issuance of the citation, excluding the date of issuance.

    (d)

    Any person wishing to contest a parking citation may appeal such citation by making a written request for an administrative hearing to the Broward County, Florida, Clerk of Court within ten (10) working days of the date the citation was issued.

    (e)

    Pursuant to Florida law, any person who elects to appear before a hearing officer or to contest a citation by mail, shall be deemed to have waived the right to pay the civil penalty amount set forth on the citation. The hearing officer may grant additional time to pay the civil penalty amount and late fees; otherwise such fines are due and payable within ten (10) working days from the date the order of the hearing officer is issued. All orders shall be in writing and shall be signed and dated by the hearing officer. If, at the conclusion of the hearing the hearing officer orders a dismissal of the citation because no violation was found, the hearing officer shall so state and issue an order of dismissal in writing signed and dated by the hearing officer which shall contain finding of the facts supporting the order. A copy of such order will be forwarded to the alleged violator.

    (f)

    An order of the hearing officer may be appealed by the filing of a Petition of Writ of Certiorari in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida, by any party receiving an adverse ruling within thirty (30) calendar days from the date the order was issued.
