Recovering from Hurricane Milton |
My heart and prayers go out to everyone in Central Florida recovering from Hurricane Milton's impacts.
As a reminder, anytime our offices are closed, you can always pay for traffic tickets and view public court documents online for free on our website MyOrangeClerk.com at any time, 24/7. We also will keep you up to date about closures through our website and social media pages.
There are a lot of people in our state devastated by this storm, and the American Red Cross has an urgent need for volunteers and donations. Click here if you are able to assist.

In support of recent Florida Legislation, Clerks of Court statewide have implemented a Hope Card Program to assist people affected by domestic violence and abuse. The program offers individuals who have been issued a final injunction for protection the opportunity to apply for a free wallet-sized Hope Card that can be used to verify with law enforcement that they are covered by a protective court order.
