Bay County is the economic center of the central Panhandle — the US-231 corridor connects it to Dothan, AL and I-10, while US-98 runs the Gulf Coast tourist strip. Panama City Beach is one of Florida's highest-volume Spring Break destinations, which means DUI enforcement is among the most active in the state during peak season. FR44 Experts files electronically with the DHSMV, most within 30 minutes of payment.
Florida FR44 requires $100,000/$300,000/$50,000 liability maintained continuously for three years. Any lapse resets your clock and re-suspends your license. We monitor your policy year-round.
| Coverage | FR44 (DUI) | SR22 |
|---|---|---|
| Bodily Injury / Person | $100,000 | $10,000 |
| Bodily Injury / Accident | $300,000 | $20,000 |
| Property Damage | $50,000 | $10,000 |
Panama City Beach processes a significant number of DUI arrests during Spring Break (typically March-April). If you received a DUI on vacation and hold a Florida license, you need FR44 before your license can be reinstated. If you hold an out-of-state license, your home state will likely require SR22 — but Florida's conviction may also require FR44 to clear the Florida record. Call us to confirm what's required for your specific situation.
Most filings confirmed within 30 minutes. Same-day reinstatement for all of Bay County.
Non-owner: $14-$28/mo. Owner: $65-$145/mo. We compare all Bay County carriers.
If you hold a Georgia license, your home state will require SR22 (not FR44). However, Florida's DHSMV record of the conviction may also require resolution. Call us — we file in both states and can clarify exactly what you need.
