Moreno Valley FAQ

Riverside FAQ

Are electric leaf blowers allowed on Sundays?

Electric blowers still fall under the noise chapter's plainly-audible and decibel limits. Quieter electric units used briefly are less likely to draw complaints, but Sunday operation can still be cited if disruptive.

Can I still use my existing gas leaf blower?

Yes. AB 1346 restricts new sales starting 2024 but does not ban use of existing equipment. Riverside time-of-day and decibel rules still apply.
