Full Breakdown
Sec. on weekends and legal holidays. The exemption is conditioned on the equipment carrying a functioning muffler or another sound-control device as effective as the equipment's original equipment; unmuffled or defeated equipment loses the exemption even during the permitted hours. Outside that window, leaf blowers and other yard equipment fall back under the general noise-disturbance provisions of Sec. quiet hours and the Sec. on any day can be cited as a disturbance in its own right. The chapter's list of legal holidays, defined in Sec.
weekend-style start applies; it includes New Year's Day, MLK Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and the day after, and Christmas Day.
Violations & Fines
Running landscape or yard equipment, including a leaf blower, outside the 7:00 a.m.-to-8:00 p.m. weekday or 9:00 a.m.-to-8:00 p.m. weekend and holiday window forfeits the Sec. 11-12(5) exemption and exposes the operator to a citation under Sec. 1-8.1 for a general noise disturbance, issued by Coral Springs Police or Code Compliance. Each occurrence is a separate violation, and an unmuffled machine can be cited even inside the permitted hours.
