Fines for Tennessee DUI Convictions

All DUI convictions in Tennessee carry a fine based on the offense you are being charged with. In most plea-bargain cases, the government offers you the minimum fine. If you go to trial, a jury must set any fine over $50. However, you can waive this and let the judge set the fine.

Here is a list of the fines for DUI offenses in Tennessee:

• For a first offense, the person shall be fined not less than $350.
• For a second offense, the person shall be fined not less than $600.
• For a third offense, the person shall be fined not less than $1,100.
• For a fourth or subsequent offense, the person shall be fined $3,000 - $15,000.
• For any offense while accompanied by a child under 18 years of age, the person shall be fined $1,000 in addition to the fine for the DUI offense.
