Full Breakdown
Miami-Dade County Code chapter 21, article XIII declares itself to have county-wide effect, so it reaches incorporated municipalities including Coral Gables. Section 21-204 makes it unlawful for anyone under 17 to remain in a public or semi-public place during curfew hours, and section 21-203(h) names municipal police departments among the enforcing officers, so Coral Gables police enforce it alongside the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office. Exceptions cover accompaniment by a parent or a responsible adult over 21, travel to or from work, school or religious events, emergencies, and First Amendment activity.
Violations & Fines
A minor is taken into custody and released to a parent, with a civil citation from the third violation. A parent or business operator receives a written warning, then a fine of up to 500 dollars from the third violation.
