Pinellas Park does not ban leaf blowers but limits their use to reasonable daytime hours under the city's general noise ordinance. Powered yard equipment used outside daytime hours can be cited as a noise disturbance.
Pinellas Park has no leaf-blower-specific ban. Use is governed by Chapter 16 noise rules and Pinellas County's noise standards, which exempt routine yard maintenance, including lawn mowers, chainsaws, and leaf blowers, when used at reasonable times. As a practical matter, leaf blowers and similar equipment should be limited to roughly 7:00 a.m. through 8:00 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays, with later starts on Sundays. Commercial landscapers must also follow any permit conditions. There are no decibel-rated blower restrictions or gas-powered bans in Pinellas Park.
Operating leaf blowers in early-morning or late-night hours can result in noise warnings and citations under the general noise ordinance, with fines up to $500.
