Camden County exempts domestic power tools, lawn mowers, and similar equipment from decibel limits when muffled and used 8 am-8 pm weekdays (9 am-8 pm weekends/holidays), provided they stay under 85 dBA at the property line.
Leaf blowers fall under the domestic power-tool exemption in § 5.2(a). Noise from domestic power tools, lawn mowers, and agricultural equipment is exempt from Table I limits 'when operated with muffler between the hours of 8:00 am to 8:00 pm on weekdays and 9:00 am to 8:00 pm on weekends and legal holidays, provided they produce less than 85 dBA' at the residential property line. Outside those hours, or above 85 dBA, the normal limits apply. Some Camden County towns adopt stricter or seasonal leaf-blower rules.
Outside the exemption, treated as an ordinary noise violation; up to $3,000 per offense; each day a separate offense.
