How do I dispute a citation?

You may seek review of a citation by filing an appropriate petition with the Agency Clerk. The petition must be filed in conformance with Florida Administrative Code Rules 28-106.201 or 28-106.301, as applicable. Mediation is not available. The petition must be received by the Department within 30 calendar days of the date of service of the citation. The petition may be sent by mail, hand delivery or facsimile.

By hand delivery:

Failure to file a dispute within 30 calendar days of service shall constitute a waiver of hearing, and the citation shall automatically become a Final Order of the Department.
