Full Breakdown
Section 26-128(11) of the Doral Code of Ordinances lists 'commercial power tools and landscaping equipment' among the acts declared to be unreasonably loud, excessive, unnecessary, or unusual noise. on Saturdays. The subsection then bars commercial landscaping operations entirely on Sundays and national holidays, with no exception written into the text for emergency trimming or storm cleanup. The rule targets commercial operation specifically, so it sits alongside, rather than replacing, the general unreasonably-loud-noise standard in § 26-128 that can still reach an individual homeowner's equipment if it disturbs neighbors.
As with the rest of Article V, a code compliance officer who receives a complaint investigates under § 26-134 and, upon personally observing a violation, warns the operator to stop and issues a notice of violation. Section 26-135 then applies the article's civil fine schedule: $100 for a first offense and $500 for a second or later offense within one year, with a separate notice available for every hour the violation continues and a per diem fine possible for three notices within a month.
