The Flagler County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller's office is offering a 40 percent discount for two weeks.
"We are offering this program to help our residents who have tickets, fines and fees that were in collection before June 1 of this year (2016)," said Gail Wadsworth, court clerk and comptroller for Flagler County. "This may allow some to restore their suspended driving privileges once the outstanding fines and late fees are paid."
The special program, dubbed "Walk In Drive Out," is available for a two-week window, from Sept. 19 to Sept. 30.
Late fees won't be waived, but anyone paying tickets, fines and fees within this time period will be spared the costs of collections surcharges.
"These charges can be considerable," Wadsworth said. "It can be as much as $82.50 on a $206 speeding ticket for going 10-15 mph over the speed limit."

The program will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday on the first floor of the Central Receipting Office at the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center, located at 1769 E. Moody Blvd., Building 1, in Bunnell.
Payments will be accepted in cash, check, money order or major credit card. Third-party checks won't be accepted. Phone and online payments will also be accepted.
Suspended driving privileges can't be restored to drivers who have overdue tickets in another county, an expired driver's license or other misdemeanor offenses that would make them ineligible.
