Full Breakdown

Largo's juvenile curfew ordinance, consistent with Pinellas County's broader curfew framework, restricts minors under age 17 from being in public places, businesses, or city rights-of-way during designated late-night hours. Common exemptions include travel with a parent or guardian, going to or from work, attending a school or religious event, or responding to an emergency. Officers may detain a minor in violation and contact a parent for pickup. Repeat or aggravated violations can be charged as municipal infractions, and parents who knowingly permit violations may also face penalties under the local ordinance.

Violations & Fines

Curfew violations can result in detention by police, return to the parent or guardian, civil fines, and parental liability for repeat or knowing violations.
