Lake County Clerk to help residents save money, get back on the road during OPERATION GREEN LIGHT
“If you are behind on your court-related payments, this event is here to help you,” said Gary Cooney, Lake County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller. “We aim to help customers seeking to reinstate or prevent suspension of their driver licenses. Operation Green Light provides incentives like removing overdue accounts from collections, eliminating collection and payment plan fees, and reducing fines for those who pay in full.” Last year’s event resulted in 394 cases being addressed, with a total of $39,847 in past-due payments collected and $27,523 being dismissed from collections. Customers wishing to coordinate payment agreements on their past due court fees and fines can do so in person at the Lake County Courthouse, 550 W. Main St., First Floor, East Wing, Tavares. To begin the process of establishing payment terms electronically, email [email protected]. In most instances, those who pay their obligations in full, or establish a monthly payment plan, by 5 p.m. on Friday, April 4, will be eligible to have their driver’s license reinstated, all while saving money.
