City of Naples amended its Noise Ordinance to prohibit the use of gasoline-powered leaf blowers in in the City
In October 2020 the City of Naples amended its Noise Ordinance to prohibit the use of gasoline-powered leaf blowers in in the City. This prohibition takes effect October 21, 2021.
Battery and electric leaf blowers will continue to be allowed as long as they do not generate a decibel level above 65 dBA. All battery and electric leaf blowers must have a manufacturer's label indicating they meet the noise level requirements. If they do not have such a label, they are not allowed to be used in the City.
The following is a list of battery powered leaf blowers known to be manufactured-rated at 65 decibels or less. This list may not be comprehensive, given new machinery is always being released on the market, and some manufactures do not provide decibel ratings. ______________________________________________________________________
