About this guide

Kissimmee, Florida, in Osceola County, has about 85,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A traffic ticket written in Kissimmee is a court case in the County Court, and the conviction it ends in goes on the driving record kept by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. This guide says which court takes the ticket, who writes them and where the driving record lives.

This guide covers where tickets go, who writes them, the driving record and common questions.

Where a Ticket Written in Kissimmee Goes

Florida has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.

Who Writes the Tickets in Kissimmee

The Osceola County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Kissimmee (filed by the FBI as Kissimmee Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Kissimmee.

The FBI's agency list also places five state agencies and one state police unit in Osceola County (the arrest records guide names each one); the Highway Patrol in Osceola County writes the tickets on the state highways.

The Driving Record and the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles

The driving record is a separate document from the court file. It is kept by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, which adds each conviction the court reports and handles suspensions; the court does not issue driving records.

Paying a ticket is a conviction, reported to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles like any other; contesting it means a plea of not guilty entered with the court by the date on the ticket.

A DUI is a criminal charge rather than a ticket, with its own license case before the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (see Kissimmee DUI).
