Lee Clerk hosts waived collections fee event on overdue traffic tickets

LEE COUNTY, Fla. —

Anyone with a suspended license or overdue traffic tickets may be able to get back on the road with Lee County Clerk & Comptroller's "Operation Green Light," which waives 25% of the collections fee on overdue traffic tickets.

During the event, anyone with cases in collections will be allowed to pay their court fees and fines without getting charged the 25% collection surcharge. There are also special payment plans that are only available during the event.

The event takes place from April 14 through 17, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Lee Clerk's office in downtown Fort Myers and at the Cape Coral branch. On the final day, the downtown Fort Myers location will be open until 6 p.m.
