Tigard, OR Curfew Laws: Juvenile Curfew (2026)

Chapter 7.44 of the Tigard Municipal Code sets curfew hours for minors in the City of Tigard. Section 7.44.025(a) covers minors under the age of 14 years: the curfew is between 9:15 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. of the following morning, except on any day immediately preceding a day for which no public school is scheduled in the City, when it is between 10:15 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Subsection (b) covers minors 14 years or age or older, as the code prints it: the curfew is between 10:15 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., except on any day immediately preceding a day for which no public school is scheduled in the City, when it is between 12 midnight and 6:00 a.m.

Section 7.44.010 prohibits a minor from being in or upon any street, highway, park, alley or other public place during those hours unless the minor is accompanied by a parent, guardian or other person twenty-one years of age or older authorized by the parent or by law to have care and custody of the minor, is then engaged in a lawful pursuit or activity that requires being in public places during those hours, or is emancipated pursuant to ORS 109.550 through 109.565. Section 7.44.020 separately prohibits any parent, guardian or person having the care and custody of a minor under the age of eighteen years from allowing the minor to be in or upon any street, highway, park, alley or other public place during the curfew hours.
