Taylorsville, UT Curfew Laws: Juvenile Curfew (2026)

Chapter 10.50 of the Taylorsville City Code sets separate curfew windows by age. Section 10.50.020 makes it unlawful for a minor under age 16 to remain or loiter upon sidewalks, streets, alleys or public places in the city between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. the following morning. Section 10.50.030 gives 16 and 17 year olds a later curfew, prohibiting them from remaining or loitering in the same public places between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. Public places are defined broadly under section 10.50.010 to include any place open to the public whether publicly or privately owned, covering parking lots and the interiors and exteriors of restaurants, stores, and entertainment venues, not just streets.

Section 10.50.060 lists exceptions: a minor accompanied by a parent or responsible adult, traveling to or from lawful employment, running an emergency errand at a parent's direction, riding in a vehicle on interstate travel through the city, attending a religious, municipal, social, entertainment, sporting, political, library or school function, or remaining in the immediate vicinity of their own residence is not in violation. Section 10.50.040 makes it unlawful for a parent, guardian, or other person with care and custody to knowingly allow a minor to violate curfew, a misdemeanor, and section 10.50.050 imposes the same misdemeanor liability on a business owner who knowingly permits a minor to remain on the premises in violation, unless the minor is lawfully employed there.

Under section 10.50.070, an arrested minor is returned to a parent or guardian's custody, and any curfew violation by the minor is itself a misdemeanor.
