Full Breakdown
Celina's noise ordinance regulates "power equipment", defined as any motorized electric or fuel-powered equipment, including tractors, lawnmowers, and similar devices such as leaf blowers. Running power equipment within a residential district or quiet zone (or within 500 feet of one) so as to cause a noise disturbance is prohibited, and doing so between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. is automatically a violation, no proof of disturbance required. The same equipment used in nonresidential districts must still avoid causing a noise disturbance, though no fixed curfew applies there.
Violations & Fines
Class C misdemeanor, fine of $1 to $500 per day; each day of violation is a separate offense.
