Harford County has no leaf-blower ban and no gas-blower restriction. Leaf blowers fall under the general rules: Harford County Code § 193-8's 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. limit and COMAR's daytime dBA standards.
Neither Maryland nor Harford County restricts leaf blowers by type or season. A gas or electric blower is legal, subject only to the general noise rules. Under Harford County Code § 193-8, blower noise cannot be audible more than 50 feet onto residential property between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. During the day, COMAR 26.02.03.02 caps residential noise at 65 dBA at the property line, though routine lawn work rarely triggers enforcement. Bel Air and Havre de Grace set no separate blower ban. Landscapers work daytime hours by custom, not by county mandate.
A leaf blower running after 11 p.m. and audible on residential property violates § 193-8; a civil fine follows if the operator ignores an officer's order.
