Duval County/Jacksonville has no specific leaf-blower ordinance. Gas blowers are permitted and fall under the general Chapter 368 noise rules, meaning operation is allowed during daytime hours, typically 7 AM - 7 PM.
Florida has no statewide leaf-blower restriction, and the consolidated Jacksonville/Duval code does not ban or restrict gas-powered blowers by type. Operators must stay within Chapter 368 quiet-hour limits, and excessive noise can still be cited as a general noise violation. This leaf blower rules rule under Duval County's noise ordinances applies to unincorporated areas of Duval County. For current statutory text, amendments, enforcement procedures, fines, appeal options, and any exemptions that may apply to your situation, contact Duval County code enforcement directly or consult the official Florida municipal code library. Ordinances change periodically; always verify with local staff before relying on summary information.
