California AB 1346 directed CARB to phase out new gas-powered small off-road engines including leaf blowers, so Moorpark landscapers buying new equipment after January 2024 must select zero-emission electric or battery alternatives.
Moorpark does not have a separate municipal gas leaf blower ban, but the statewide CARB regulation under AB 1346 ended the sale of new gasoline-powered leaf blowers, lawn mowers, and similar small off-road engines beginning in 2024. Existing equipment owned before that date may continue to be used and serviced. Crews working in Moorpark neighborhoods, HOA-maintained tracts, and city parks are increasingly switching to battery models, and the city has used CalRecycle and air district incentive grants to support landscaper transitions. Local noise rules in MMC Title 9 still govern hours of operation.
CARB enforces SORE rules at point of sale, not against operators. Operators using gas blowers outside permitted hours can still face Moorpark noise citations.
