Q: FREC found me guilty of violating Chapter 475, Florida Statutes, and imposed a $250 administrative fine against me. I’m having trouble coming up with the money. How long do I have to pay the fine? 

A: Rule 61J2-10.031 provides that in cases where FREC imposes an administrative fine and costs, if any, for violation of Chapters 455 and 475, Florida Statutes, or the rules promulgated thereunder, the fine and costs shall be paid within 30 days of the filing of the final order unless directed otherwise by FREC.
