Bridgeport regulates leaf blower use by time of day. Some CT towns have adopted gas leaf blower restrictions, especially in Fairfield County.
Bridgeport restricts leaf blower operation to designated hours per local ordinance. CT has no statewide leaf blower ban, but some towns (particularly in affluent Fairfield County communities near NYC) have adopted gas leaf blower restrictions or seasonal bans. Both gas and electric blowers are subject to local noise hour limits. Fall leaf season (October to December) is the peak usage period. Commercial landscapers may have specific time windows.
Noise hour violations: $50 to $300. Gas blower violations where banned: $100 to $500. Repeat offenders face escalating fines.
