Indian River County has no leaf-blower-specific ordinance. Gas and electric blowers are legal year-round, limited only by the Chapter 974 general rule against excessive, unreasonably loud noise that disturbs a neighborhood.
The county does not single out leaf blowers, and there is no gas-blower ban. Landscaping crews run them year-round across Indian River's HOA-heavy subdivisions and citrus-country properties. The only limits are the general prohibition in Chapter 974 against excessive, unnecessary, or unreasonably loud noise or vibration that disturbs the peace or quiet of a neighborhood, and the 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. sound-device window. HOA and CDD landscaping-hour covenants are usually stricter than county code and are enforced privately by the association.
There is no leaf-blower penalty. Running equipment so loudly that it disturbs a neighborhood, or during protected night hours, can draw a Code Enforcement warning and citation under Chapter 974.
