Brazoria County sets no leaf-blower or yard-equipment noise rules for unincorporated areas. Inside Pearland, motorized lawn equipment (mowers, edgers, trimmers, weed eaters, and blowers) cannot run between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. within 300 feet of any residential area.
Texas counties have no power to regulate leaf blowers or yard-equipment noise, so there is no rule in unincorporated Brazoria County beyond the state unreasonable-noise statute (Penal Code Sec. 42.01). Cities set the hours. Pearland Sec. 19-3(c) bars operating motorized lawn mowing equipment, electric or fuel-powered, including mowers, edgers, trimmers, and weed eaters, between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. within 300 feet of any residential neighborhood or area zoned residential. Blowers driven by the same motors fall under this restriction and the general offensive-noise rule (Sec. 19-4, power equipment). No decibel cap or day-of-week limit is imposed.
Pearland cites the operator under the noise chapter's general penalty. Elsewhere, only the state Class C disorderly-conduct standard applies to yard-equipment noise.
