Florida's juvenile curfew statute, Fla. Stat. 877.22, bars minors from public places between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and between midnight and 6 a.m. on weekends and holidays, with exceptions for a minor with a parent, at work, or in an emergency.
Florida sets juvenile curfew hours by statute rather than leaving them entirely to local option. Fla. Stat. 877.22 prohibits a minor from being or remaining in a public place or establishment between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and between 12:01 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. The law exempts a minor accompanied by a parent or guardian, running an errand for a parent, traveling to or from work, or responding to an emergency. The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office and municipal police enforce the curfew, and during hurricanes and civil emergencies the county and the cities of St. Augustine and St. Augustine Beach have imposed separate emergency curfews on everyone.
The Sheriff's Office and city police enforce the curfew. A first violation typically brings a warning and parental notice, with the minor released to a parent; repeat violations expose the minor and parent to penalties under Fla. Stat. 877.24.
