Washington County applies Oregon state juvenile curfew under ORS 419C.680 in unincorporated areas; cities layer local ordinances. Beaverton, Hillsboro, and Tigard each enforce 10 PM-6 AM on school nights for minors under 18, with 12 AM-6 AM weekend hours.
Oregon's state juvenile curfew statute ORS 419C.680 establishes a default curfew for minors under 18: 12 AM-4 AM on weekends and 10 PM-4 AM on weeknights. Washington County's unincorporated areas default to this state framework. Cities impose stricter local variants: Beaverton BC 5.02.160 — 10:15 PM-6 AM Sunday-Thursday and midnight-6 AM Friday/Saturday for under-18; Hillsboro HMC 9.25 — 10 PM-6 AM schoolnights, midnight-6 AM weekends; Tigard TMC 7.44 — matches state law; Tualatin, Sherwood, Cornelius, Forest Grove all similar. Standard exceptions: minor accompanied by parent or guardian, traveling directly to/from work or school function, emergency, First Amendment activities. Daytime truancy curfew (during school hours) also applies under ORS 339.065 and can trigger school attendance citations. Violations: minor typically released to parent; parent or guardian may be cited for contributing. Habitual violations can escalate to juvenile court referral under ORS 419C. MAX Blue Line stations and downtown Beaverton/Hillsboro see occasional enforcement sweeps. Oregon does not permit curfew citations to be converted to permanent criminal records.
First offense: warning, parental notification. Subsequent: $50-$500 to parent; minor may face juvenile court referral under ORS 419C. Daytime truancy: school attendance citation.
