Unincorporated San Diego County does not have a countywide juvenile curfew ordinance. Individual communities may have local provisions. California does not have a statewide juvenile curfew. Some incorporated cities within the county have their own curfew ordinances.
The County of San Diego has not enacted a juvenile curfew for unincorporated areas. There is no statewide juvenile curfew in California, though many incorporated cities have enacted their own (e.g., the City of San Diego has a curfew for minors under 18 from 10 PM to 6 AM). In unincorporated areas, minors are subject to general laws including park closures, trespass provisions, and school truancy laws during school hours. Parents remain responsible for the supervision of minors. The Sheriff's Department may contact parents of unsupervised minors found in potentially dangerous situations but does not enforce a specific curfew.
No countywide juvenile curfew violations exist. Minors may be cited for trespass, park hour violations, or other applicable offenses.
