By CityRuleLookup Editorial Team

If you live in Fillmore or are thinking about moving there, curfew laws are one of those things you probably won't think about until they affect you directly. Fillmore has 2 specific rules on the books covering different aspects of curfew laws, and some of them might surprise you.

Park Curfew

Key details: Park Hours: Dawn to dusk or 10 PM. Applies To: All city parks. Exceptions: Special event permits. Enforcement: Sheriff (805) 524-2233.

Persons found in parks after curfew may be cited for trespassing. The Sheriff's Office typically issues verbal warnings before citations. Repeat offenders face misdemeanor trespassing charges.
