Gas-powered leaf blowers allowed in Winter Park 8 AM to 6 PM weekdays and 9 AM to 5 PM on Saturdays. Prohibited on Sundays. The city encourages electric/battery alternatives in residential zones.
Winter Park has not banned gas leaf blowers outright, unlike some peer cities, but restricts operating hours under Chapter 62 noise regulations. Commercial landscapers working Park Avenue area properties must comply with commercial noise limits (65 dBA at property line). The city council has discussed a phased gas blower ban similar to those in Naples and Key Biscayne but has not adopted one. Electric/battery blowers are subject only to general quiet hours.
$100-$250 per violation. Landscape contractors may face business license review for repeat violations.
