Tigard, OR Curfew Laws: Juvenile Curfew (2026)

Tigard's juvenile curfew is codified at TMC Chapter 7.44 under Title 7 (Public Peace, Safety and Morals). The ordinance operates on a tiered, school-calendar-aware schedule. For minors under the age of 14 years, the curfew runs from 9:15 p.m. to 6 a.m. of the following morning. The window is extended on any day immediately preceding a day for which no public school is scheduled in the city to 10:15 p.m. to 6 a.m. For minors 14 years or older but under 18, the curfew runs from 10:15 p.m. to 6 a.m. of the following morning, extended to 12 midnight to 6 a.m. on any day immediately preceding a non-school day. No minor shall be in or upon any street, highway, park, alley, or other public place between the hours specified, unless the minor is accompanied by a parent, guardian, or other person 21 years of age or older who is authorized by the parent or by law to have care and custody of the minor, or unless the minor is engaged in a lawful activity that requires their presence (employment, emergency, or going to or from a school, religious, or city-sponsored event). The chapter is enabled by ORS 419C.680, which authorizes Oregon cities to set curfews more restrictive than the statewide default. Section 7.44.020 makes it a Class C misdemeanor for an adult parent, guardian, or person having care and custody of a minor under 18 to knowingly allow the minor to be out in violation of curfew. The minor's own violation is typically processed as a juvenile civil infraction handled through the Washington County juvenile system.
