Unincorporated Madison County enforces no juvenile curfew; Alabama counties lack that power. Municipalities set curfews under Ala. Code § 11-45-1, and Huntsville restricts minors from public places during late-night hours, enforced only inside city limits.
Alabama grants curfew power to municipalities, not counties, so Madison County enforces no juvenile curfew in unincorporated Hazel Green, Meridianville, or Harvest. Under Ala. Code § 11-45-1, a city may adopt ordinances to preserve order and protect the young. Huntsville enforces a juvenile curfew barring minors from public places during posted late-night hours, with exceptions for minors accompanied by a parent, traveling to or from work, or responding to an emergency. Madison, Gurley, and New Hope set their own curfews. A minor out late on unincorporated county land commits no curfew offense.
The county cannot cite a curfew violation in unincorporated areas. Inside Huntsville, a minor and often the parent face a municipal fine, and police may detain the minor until a parent is contacted.
