Clark County has no leaf-blower-specific ban. Leaf blowers fall under the ground-maintenance power-equipment exemption: allowed 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; frequent use outside those hours in a residential area can be a public disturbance noise.
There is no dedicated leaf-blower ordinance in unincorporated Clark County. Leaf blowers are power equipment used for ground maintenance, which CCC 9.14.010(3) permits between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Used outside that window, or in a way that produces frequent, repetitive or continuous sound unreasonably disturbing neighbors, they can be cited as a public disturbance. Overall sound must also stay within WAC 173-60 environmental noise limits. Cities in the county may set stricter or gas-blower rules.
Frequent power-equipment noise outside 7 a.m.-10 p.m. that disturbs neighbors is a misdemeanor: $250 fine and/or 90 days jail (CCC 9.14.030).
