Citations & Tickets

All tickets and citations are issued by the Citrus County Sheriff's Office. Depending on the type of violation, further handling will differ depending on the type of document issued.


Moving violations are processed by the Citrus County Clerk of the Circuit Court. Questions, payment or contesting of a ticket issued while the vehicle is in motion should be directed to the Clerk of Courts, 110 N. Apopka in Inverness.

Parking citation fines are to be paid within 10 days, excluding weekends and holidays. Payment must be received within 10 days to avoid a surcharge.

If your ticket has been sent to the Clerk of Courts Office we can no longer accept payment. Please be advised that non-payment of a parking citation may affect your tag renewal.
