Safety Harbor's juvenile curfew rules align with Florida Statutes Chapter 877.20-877.25, which permit municipalities to adopt local curfews. Minors generally may not be in public places between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. on weeknights.
Florida Statutes Sections 877.20 through 877.25 establish the framework for local juvenile curfews. Under that framework, a minor under age 16 (and adopting cities may extend coverage to under 18) may not remain in public places or establishments between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, or between 12:01 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. Exemptions cover travel with a parent or guardian, work, school activities, exercise of First Amendment rights, and emergencies. Pinellas County and Safety Harbor police enforce these provisions for any locally adopted curfew.
Curfew violations may result in detention by officers, parental notification, civil citations to parents who knowingly permit violations, and referral to juvenile court.
