Gainesville has no juvenile curfew ordinance. A full search of its code returns no curfew provision, and Florida's state curfew law does not apply unless a local government adopts it by ordinance.
There is no juvenile curfew in Gainesville. A full-text search of the current code returns no curfew provision outside emergency powers, which are all-ages measures available only during a declared local emergency. Florida Statutes sections 877.20 to 877.24 set out a model curfew, but section 877.25 provides that they do not apply in a county or municipality unless its governing body adopts an ordinance incorporating them by reference. Gainesville has not done so. Alachua County has no curfew ordinance reaching the city either.
There is no curfew ordinance to violate. Emergency curfews declared during a hurricane or other local emergency apply to all ages and are separate from any juvenile curfew.
