Most Nevada speeding tickets run $20 once court costs are added. Since 2023 (AB116) minor speeding is a civil infraction with a civil penalty, not a criminal fine. Penalty cannot exceed $20 for each mph over the limit, or $500 total (NRS 484B.600). Each court's schedule sets the amount plus administrative assessments, so totals vary by jurisdiction.
Cost & insurance figures are typical ranges; your court and insurer set the exact numbers.
Almost everyone just pays — but paying is a guilty plea that locks in the conviction and the insurance hike. Before you pay, check whether your Nevada ticket is even provable and whether you can keep it off your record.
