For one day only, Polk County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller Stacy Butterfield is putting the brakes on collection fees and getting drivers back on the road during Operation Green Light.
Customers with suspended driver licenses have an opportunity to pay overdue court fines, including traffic tickets, while saving up to 40 percent in additional fees. Once paid, customers can proceed with the reinstatement of their driver’s license.
Operation Green Light takes place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, April 2.
Customers can pay by phone, 863-534-4446, or in-person at three convenient locations:
- Bartow Courthouse: 255 N. Broadway Ave.,
- Lakeland Government Center: 930 E. Parker St., or
- Northeast Government Center: 3425 Lake Alfred Road in Winter Haven.
Additional Details:
- Customers must pay the fine in the county they received the fine.
- Payment methods include cash, money order, credit card or checks. *A 3.5 percent processing fee is applied to credit card purchases.
- Late fees and reinstatement fees still apply, if applicable.
During the 2021 event, Polk County customers saved $116,660. Along with this, there were 363 cases paid in full, 440 cases placed on a payment plan, 47 driver license reinstatements, and 427 driver licenses were made eligible for reinstatement.
