Titusville Code of Ordinances § 13-103(16)

Summary

Titusville does not set blower-specific hours, but Code of Ordinances § 13-103(16) makes it unlawful to run a noise-creating blower, power fan or other internal combustion engine that produces noise from exploding operating gases or fluids unless it carries a muffler device sufficient to deaden that noise. The rule sits inside the city's broader unnecessary-noise standard in Chapter 13, Article IV.

(16)Blowers and fans. Operation of any noise-creating blower or power fan or any internal combustion engine, the operation of which causes noise due to the explosion of operating gases or fluids, unless the blower or fan is equipped with a muffler device sufficient to deaden such noise.

Full Breakdown

The blower rule sits at the end of the same unnecessary-noise list in § 13-103, Chapter 13, Article IV. Subsection (16) doesn't set hours the way the construction rule does; instead it conditions lawful operation on equipment, requiring any noise-creating blower, power fan or other internal combustion engine whose noise comes from exploding operating gases or fluids to carry a muffler device sufficient to deaden that noise, at whatever time it's run. Because the rule is equipment-based, a landscaper or homeowner can still be cited during the day if the blower lacks an effective muffler.

, commercial districts at 60 dBA in daytime hours and industrial districts at 65 dBA at all times. , but it names mowers, not blowers, so a leaf blower running without a compliant muffler, or one that pushes ambient noise above the Table I cap, can be cited under either provision.

Violations & Fines

A blower or fan without an effective muffler is enforced like any other Chapter 13 noise violation: the general penalty in § 1-15 sets a fine up to $500, up to 60 days in jail, or both, with each day of use a separate offense, and § 13-104(b) allows confiscation of the equipment itself after a third conviction involving the same device within twelve months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Titusville ban gas leaf blowers at certain hours?
No blower-specific curfew exists in the code. Section 13-103(16) instead requires any noise-creating blower or power fan to be equipped with a muffler device sufficient to deaden its noise, at any time it's operated. Because lawn mowers, not blowers, are the equipment named in the § 13-102(e)(1) exemption for 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., a blower can also be measured against the Table I sound level limits in § 13-102.
What decibel limit applies to a leaf blower in a residential neighborhood?
Under Table I in § 13-102, residential districts cap ordinary noise at 55 dBA between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. and 50 dBA between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., measured at or beyond the property line. A leaf blower that isn't within the lawn-mower exemption and pushes sound above those limits, or that lacks an effective muffler under § 13-103(16), is a violation either way.
What's the penalty for an unmuffled blower complaint?
It's enforced like any other Chapter 13 noise violation: the general penalty in § 1-15 allows a fine up to $500, up to 60 days in jail, or both, with each day of continued violation a separate offense, and repeat convictions involving the same equipment can lead to its confiscation under § 13-104(b).
