Ocoee allows gas and electric leaf blowers year-round during general construction/landscaping hours of 7 AM to 7 PM. No decibel cap or equipment type restrictions apply, but the standard plainly-audible rule governs early-morning use.
Unlike many California and northeastern cities, Ocoee does not restrict leaf blower type, fuel source, or decibel output. Gas-powered two-stroke blowers, four-stroke blowers, battery-electric, and corded-electric units are all permitted. Commercial lawn crews must observe the same 7 AM to 7 PM Monday to Saturday window that applies to all landscaping work, with Sunday commercial use prohibited in residential zones. Homeowner use outside those hours can be cited under the general plainly-audible/unreasonable-noise standard if a neighbor complains, particularly before 7 AM or after 10 PM. Florida has no statewide leaf blower regulation, and there is currently no pending Ocoee ordinance to restrict gas blowers. HOA CC&Rs in master-planned communities may impose narrower windows (commonly 8 AM to 6 PM) but cannot override city-permitted hours upward.
First offense: warning. Subsequent: $100 to $500 per violation. Commercial operator with repeat violations may be cited to Code Enforcement Board and face business tax receipt review.
