DMVZoneBlogFlorida's base speeding fines run from $25 for 6 to 9 mph over to $250 for 30 or more, then county court costs are added. Fines double in school zones and in work zones with workers present.
A Florida speeding ticket starts with a base fine set by state law: $25 for 6 to 9 mph over, $100 for 10 to 14, $150 for 15 to 19, $175 for 20 to 29 and $250 for 30 or more. Each county then adds court costs and fees, so the amount on your ticket is higher than the base fine.
The base fines below come from section 318.18 of the Florida Statutes. The total you pay depends on the county, because each clerk adds its own court costs and surcharges. Your ticket or the clerk's website shows the exact amount.
| MPH over the limit | Base fine | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 5 | Warning | None |
| 6 to 9 | $25 | 3 |
| 10 to 14 | $100 | 3 |
| 15 | $150 | 3 |
| 16 to 19 | $150 | 4 |
| 20 to 29 | $175 | 4 |
| 30 and above | $250 | 4 |
Since July 1, 2025, driving 50 mph or more over the limit, or 100 mph or more in a way that puts people or property at risk, is the crime of dangerous excessive speeding. A first conviction can bring up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine. A second within five years can mean up to 90 days, $1,000 and a revoked license for 180 days to a year.
Florida gives you 30 days to pay, elect a course or request a hearing. Doing nothing leads to a license suspension and extra fees.
