Traffic tickets could cost you more in Hillsborough County

The next time you get pulled over in Hillsborough County it could cost you more.

The Hillsborough County Board of Commissioners will be holding a public hearing Tuesday to discuss a  proposal to increase a surcharge on some traffic violations.

If approved – the surcharge would go from $20 to $30.

The county says the move could bring in around $1 million more a year.

8 on Your Side pulled the numbers – in the last five years the traffic violation surcharge of $20 has generated $2.4 million in revenue.

Wednesday at 9 a.m. the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners will again discuss the proposal during their meeting.
