Hernando County has no county-wide juvenile curfew on the books. Florida offers a ready framework in Fla. Stat. §877.20–877.25, but a curfew only takes effect where a county or city adopts it by ordinance, and Hernando has not.
Hernando County has not enacted a general juvenile curfew, so minors are not under a county-wide nighttime restriction. Florida's curfew statute (Fla. Stat. §877.20–877.25) supplies a model: minors under 16 barred from public places roughly 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. on weeknights and midnight to 6 a.m. on weekends, with exceptions for work, emergencies, and being with a parent, but it binds only where the local government adopts it. Deputies still enforce trespass and park-hours rules against unaccompanied minors.
Where a Florida curfew ordinance is in force, a first violation usually brings a warning and parental notice, with fines for repeat offenses. Absent a local curfew, minors instead face trespass or park-hours citations.
