Sarasota County restricts powered model vehicles (RC cars/boats/planes) near homes: prohibited 7:00 p.m.-7:00 a.m. weekdays and 7:00 p.m.-10:00 a.m. weekends/holidays within 50 yards of any residential property line. Motor-vehicle noise also falls under the sound-control limits.
Sec. 54-118 bars operating any powered model vehicle within 50 yards of a residential real property line or noise-sensitive area during restricted hours. General motor-vehicle and off-road engine noise is governed by the county's overall dBA sound-control thresholds. Florida's traffic code (FS Ch. 316) governs vehicle mufflers and exhaust noise on public roads statewide, alongside the county limits.
Warning first, then a fine up to $500, up to 60 days jail, or both for uncorrected or repeat violations.
