Largo has no dedicated leaf blower ordinance; gas and electric blowers are governed by the city's general 72 dBA daytime and 55 dBA nighttime residential decibel limits at the property line.
Largo's Chapter 11 noise ordinance does not single out leaf blowers, lawn mowers, or other landscaping equipment for special restriction. Operators must instead comply with the Section 11-117 residential decibel caps of 72 dBA from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and 55 dBA from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m., measured at the nearest adjacent property line. Most modern leaf blowers register between 65 and 75 dBA at distance, so daytime use generally complies if the operator stays a reasonable distance from neighboring homes. Florida law also limits local government authority to ban gas-powered landscape equipment outright.
Operating equipment that pushes residential noise above the 72/55 dBA limits can result in civil citations from Community Standards and escalating fines for repeat offenses.
