The Villages DUI: What’s Different Here

The Villages spans Sumter, Lake, and Marion counties. DUI cases in The Villages are processed through the county where the arrest occurred. Sumter County Sheriff and Florida Highway Patrol are the primary enforcement agencies on US-27/441 and CR-466.

Unique Sumter County/The Villages context:

  • Many residents are retirees on fixed income — non-owner FR44 ($18–$38/month) is often the preferred solution if they no longer own a primary vehicle
  • Golf cart DUI is a real enforcement category in Florida — golf carts on public roads can result in DUI charges that trigger FR44 requirements
  • Out-of-state seasonal residents from Ohio, Michigan, Illinois: may need both Florida FR44 and home-state SR22

Golf Cart DUI and FR44 in Florida

Florida law treats golf cart DUI identically to automobile DUI when the cart is operated on a public road or designated golf cart path. A DUI conviction on a golf cart triggers the same FR44 requirement as a car DUI. This is particularly relevant in The Villages where golf carts are common transportation.
