Venice has no leaf-blower-specific ordinance. Gas and electric blowers are governed only by Ch. 34, Art. II's general decibel and audibility caps.
Unlike some Florida cities, Venice does not restrict leaf blowers by fuel type, model, or time of day. Operators must keep the resulting noise within Art. II limits when measured inside an adjacent residential unit and not produce sound plainly audible from a residential area during quiet hours. Most consumer gas blowers register 65-75 dBA at 50 feet, so reasonable daytime use complies.
Violations of the underlying decibel/audibility test are Code offenses under Sec. 1-14 with fines up to $500.
