How much is a speeding ticket in Oklahoma?
set by the local courtcourt-set
15 mph over the limit, first offense — the full arithmetic is on this page.
Oklahoma writes speeding fines into state law itself — 1–10 mph over: up to $100 · 11–15 mph over: set by the local court · 16–20 mph over: set by the local court. Where mandatory surcharges attach on top, this page itemizes them with their statutes. For 15 mph over the limit, the honest answer is set by the local court — the page decomposes what is knowable statewide instead of inventing a total. What raises it: repair, maintenance, or construction zone (workers present); school zone (reduced limit in effect); toll booth zone. Imprisonment authorized for any speeding conviction — a criminal charge, outside a fine table's scope, noted here as a fact. Points: By statute, 1–10 mph over adds zero points for non-commercial drivers — DPS may not even report it. Above that, the DPS violation-code schedule assigns 2 points for speeding up to 25 over and 3 points from 26 over. Every row on this page carries its citation — 6 primary sources (statute text, court fine schedules, DMV publications), each with a retrieval date, plus the local-variation caveat that applies in Oklahoma. This is a reference to what the law and the schedules print; it is not legal advice.
How Oklahoma sets it Oklahoma's statute prints an exact FINE for every speeding tier — $20 at 11–15 over up to $205 at 36-plus — but the fine is only part of the bill: court costs and fees are assessed under separate statutes and differ between district and municipal courts, so no statewide all-in total exists for most tiers. The one exception is the bottom tier: for 1–10 mph over, the statute itself caps the entire ticket — a $5 fine plus costs and fees not to exceed $95, $100 all-in.
The fine, tier by tier
| Speed over the limit | Base fine | What you actually owe | Citation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–10 mph over the limit | $5 state-set | up to $100 cap only | 47 O.S. §11-801(G)(1); 47 O.S. §11-801e The statute caps this tier all-in: a $5 fine plus costs and fees 'not to exceed Ninety-five Dollars' — $100 maximum, with the cost components itemized in §11-801e. Also carries zero license points for non-commercial drivers. |
| 11–15 mph over the limit | $20 state-set | set by the local court court-set | 47 O.S. §11-801(G)(2) Court costs and fees are added under separate statutes and differ by court; no statutory all-in cap applies above 10 mph over. |
| 16–20 mph over the limit | $35 state-set | set by the local court court-set | 47 O.S. §11-801(G)(3) |
| 21–25 mph over the limit | $75 state-set | set by the local court court-set | 47 O.S. §11-801(G)(4) |
| 26–30 mph over the limit | $135 state-set | set by the local court court-set | 47 O.S. §11-801(G)(5) |
| 31–35 mph over the limit | $155 state-set | set by the local court court-set | 47 O.S. §11-801(G)(6) |
| 36 mph and more over the limit | $205 state-set | set by the local court court-set | 47 O.S. §11-801(G)(7) The statute also authorizes imprisonment in lieu of or in addition to the fine — see the criminal-classification note. |
- state-set state law or a statewide schedule fixes this number.
- cap only the statute sets a ceiling; the court picks the amount within it.
- court-set no statewide number exists — the local court’s schedule decides.
The mandatory add-ons
These attach on top of whatever fine the court sets:
| Add-on | How it is computed | Citation |
|---|---|---|
| Court costs and fees | Assessed on top of the fine under separate statutes; itemized and capped ($95 max) by statute ONLY for the 1–10 mph tier, where §11-801e distributes them: $33.72 clerk/docketing, $8.80 DA Council, $11.00 court information system, $4.50 courthouse security, $1.30 AG victim services, $1.30 child abuse account, $2.25 sheriff service fee, $4.50 CLEET, $4.50 AFIS, $4.50 forensic science, $9.00 DPS patrol vehicle fund, plus 10% administrative fees on specified items. For higher tiers the components are set by the general costs statutes and the amount differs between district and municipal courts. | 47 O.S. §11-801e |
Worked example: 15 mph over the limit, first offense
| Line | Amount | Citation |
|---|---|---|
| Fine — 11 to 15 mph over the limit | $20 | 47 O.S. §11-801(G)(2) |
| Where it lands | set by the local court court-set |
The statute fixes the fine at exactly $20 for 11–15 mph over, statewide. But the amount actually owed adds court costs and fees set under separate statutes, and those differ between the district courts (state and county tickets) and each city's municipal court — so no statewide total exists for this tier and this page does not invent one. For contrast, one tier down the legislature DID fix the whole bill: 1–10 mph over is a $5 fine plus costs and fees capped at $95 — at most $100 all-in.
What raises it
- Repair, maintenance, or construction zone (workers present). Violation of the posted zone speed limit results in the doubling of the appropriate fine; the zone means any location where work is actually in progress and workers are present. (47 O.S. §11-806(C) (2019 ed.))
- School zone (reduced limit in effect). Violation of the posted reduced school-zone speed limit results in the doubling of the appropriate fine. (47 O.S. §11-806.1 (2019 ed.))
- Toll booth zone. Violation of the posted reduced toll-booth-zone speed limit results in the doubling of the appropriate fine. (47 O.S. §11-806.2 (2019 ed.))
License points
By statute, 1–10 mph over adds zero points for non-commercial drivers — DPS may not even report it. Above that, the DPS violation-code schedule assigns 2 points for speeding up to 25 over and 3 points from 26 over.
| Violation | Points |
|---|---|
| 1–10 mph over (non-CDL, non-commercial vehicle) | 0 |
| 11–25 mph over | 2 |
| 26+ mph over | 3 |
Points from the previous five years count; at 10 or more points the Department issues an order of suspension — one month for a first suspension, three months for a second, six for a third, twelve for a fourth or subsequent. (OAC 595:10-7-3; OAC 595:10-7-6; Okla. DPS Motor Vehicle Violation Codes legend)
Where speed becomes a criminal charge
- Imprisonment authorized for any speeding conviction. Criminal-exposure facts about the offense's classification; routine tickets are resolved by paying the fine plus costs. (47 O.S. §11-801(G))
Criminal penalties are a courtroom matter and outside a fine table's scope — this page records the threshold as a fact and stops there.
Local variation — the honest caveat
Above 10 mph over, the total varies by where the ticket lands: district courts (troopers, sheriffs) and each city's municipal court assess their own stacks of costs and fees under separate statutes, on top of the uniform statutory fine. Only the 1–10 mph tier is insulated — its $100 all-in cap and fee distribution are fixed by statute for district and municipal cases alike (§11-801e's distribution list includes both district and municipal court clerks). (47 O.S. §11-801e)
- Court appearance rules are not asserted here: appearance and pay-by-mail practices are set by the individual district and municipal courts, and no statewide rule was sourced for this build.
- The DPS Motor Vehicle Violation Codes document carrying the 2-point/3-point speeding values is the February 14, 2013 edition (official DPS publication, state repository copy); the governing rule (OAC 595:10-7-2 and Appendix A, last amended eff. 9-11-17) was verified to exist but Appendix A's current table itself was not directly retrievable — the values shown match the DPS publication.
- Fine tiers are from the 2024 Oklahoma Statutes text of §11-801 (history through Laws 2021, c. 40); §11-801e text is from OSCN as of 2026-07-17. Zone-doubling provisions (§§11-806, 11-806.1, 11-806.2) are quoted from the Senate's official 2019 Title 47 compilation.
- The imprisonment alternatives in §11-801(G) escalate with repeat convictions within one year; they are listed as classification facts, not typical outcomes.
