How much does a DUI cost in Florida?

A first DUI in Florida carries a statutory fine of $500–$1,000. This guide stacks every cost layer an official Florida source prices — the fine, court costs, the license reinstatement fee, the DUI program, ignition interlock, and the SR-22 insurance filing — and says plainly which layers no official source prices at all.

Florida DUI costs at a glance	Figure
Statutory fine — first DUI	Florida law (Sec. 316.193) sets the first-offense DUI fine at $500 to $1,000, rising to $1,000 to $2,000 if the breath or blood alcohol level was .15 or higher or a minor was in the vehicle. Court costs charged by the county court are added on top of the fine.
Statutory fine — second DUI	The statute separates a second offense: $1,000–$2,000. Second offenses also carry longer suspensions and program requirements — see the sections below.
Court costs & fees	Florida DUI court costs are set by the county court where the case is heard and are charged in addition to the statutory fine; the statutes reviewed do not publish a single statewide court-cost figure. A first offender is also placed on monthly reporting probation for up to one year.
License suspension — first offense	On a first conviction the court revokes the driver's license for at least 180 days and not more than one year (Sec. 322.28). A second conviction within five years brings a revocation of at least five years.
License reinstatement fee	Florida reinstatement after a DUI revocation requires completing (or enrolling in) the required DUI program and paying FLHSMV's reinstatement and alcohol-related administrative fees. The current FLHSMV fee schedule amounts could not be verified from an official page opened for this research, so no single figure is published here.
Ignition interlock	Conditional — restricted license / court order — Interlock is not automatic for every first offender: the court may order at least six continuous months of ignition interlock when the driver qualifies for a restricted license, and it is mandatory for at least six months on an enhanced first offense (BAC .15 or higher, or a minor in the vehicle) and for at least one year on a second conviction. The device is installed at the offender's sole expense.
DUI education / treatment program	Every Florida DUI offender is placed on monthly reporting probation and must complete a substance abuse course, including a psychosocial evaluation, through a DUI program licensed by the department under Sec. 322.292. The offender pays the program's reasonable costs; the statutes reviewed do not publish the program fee.
SR-22 insurance filing	Florida's DUI statutes reviewed (Secs. 316.193 and 322.28) do not impose an SR-22 filing, and no SR-22 fee is published in them. Any premium increase after a DUI is set by the insurer.

The fine

Florida law (Sec. 316.193) sets the first-offense DUI fine at $500 to $1,000, rising to $1,000 to $2,000 if the breath or blood alcohol level was .15 or higher or a minor was in the vehicle. Court costs charged by the county court are added on top of the fine.

Court costs & fees

Florida DUI court costs are set by the county court where the case is heard and are charged in addition to the statutory fine; the statutes reviewed do not publish a single statewide court-cost figure. A first offender is also placed on monthly reporting probation for up to one year.

License suspension & reinstatement

On a first conviction the court revokes the driver's license for at least 180 days and not more than one year (Sec. 322.28). A second conviction within five years brings a revocation of at least five years.

Florida reinstatement after a DUI revocation requires completing (or enrolling in) the required DUI program and paying FLHSMV's reinstatement and alcohol-related administrative fees. The current FLHSMV fee schedule amounts could not be verified from an official page opened for this research, so no single figure is published here.

Ignition interlock

Interlock is not automatic for every first offender: the court may order at least six continuous months of ignition interlock when the driver qualifies for a restricted license, and it is mandatory for at least six months on an enhanced first offense (BAC .15 or higher, or a minor in the vehicle) and for at least one year on a second conviction. The device is installed at the offender's sole expense.

How interlock pricing works (installation, monthly lease, calibration, removal) is in our ignition interlock cost guide.

DUI education & treatment program

Every Florida DUI offender is placed on monthly reporting probation and must complete a substance abuse course, including a psychosocial evaluation, through a DUI program licensed by the department under Sec. 322.292. The offender pays the program's reasonable costs; the statutes reviewed do not publish the program fee.

SR-22 & insurance

Florida's DUI statutes reviewed (Secs. 316.193 and 322.28) do not impose an SR-22 filing, and no SR-22 fee is published in them. Any premium increase after a DUI is set by the insurer.

Towing, impound & other charges

A first conviction also requires at least 50 hours of community service and mandatory impoundment or immobilization of the offender's vehicle for 10 days (30 days for a second conviction within five years, 90 days for a third within ten years). All impoundment and immobilization costs, including towing and storage, are paid by the vehicle owner.

Item	Cost
Statutory fine	$500–$1,000
Total of the verified state-set charges above	$500–$1,000

That total is deliberately incomplete: it leaves out everything no official Florida source prices statewide — court costs where they are set county by county, interlock lease payments to a private vendor, towing and storage, and the insurance increase that follows an SR-22.
