The County Court of the State of Florida is the state of Florida's trial court, and is of general jurisdiction. There is a county court in each of Florida's 67 counties.

This court has jurisdiction to try criminal cases classified as misdemeanors, civil actions where the amount in controversy is less than $15,000, small claims cases, landlord and tenant disputes and other miscellaneous actions.

Where there are no municipal courts, county courts handle traffic citations. Parking tickets are handled by the municipality. The ticket recipient is responsible for paying the ticket.
