Unincorporated Coweta County enforces no general juvenile curfew, and Georgia sets no statewide curfew for minors. The City of Newnan does impose one for minors under 16 from midnight to 6 AM; other laws still reach late-night conduct.
Neither unincorporated Coweta County nor the State of Georgia imposes a blanket nighttime curfew on minors. Georgia leaves juvenile curfews to individual local governments. Inside the county seat, the City of Newnan's ordinance makes it unlawful for a minor under 16 to be in public places between midnight and 6 AM, with exceptions for travel to and from work, church, or school-sanctioned events. In the unincorporated county, a minor lawfully in a public place after midnight is not committing a curfew offense on that basis alone. Other laws still apply: criminal trespass under O.C.G.A. § 16-7-21, posted park closing hours, loitering, and Georgia's graduated-license nighttime driving limits for teens.
With no county curfew ordinance, deputies cannot cite a minor merely for being out late in the unincorporated county. In Newnan, curfew violations are status offenses handled through juvenile court, and parents can be held responsible.
