Franklin County does not regulate leaf blowers at the county level. Use is permitted year-round in unincorporated areas subject to the ORC 2917.11 disorderly-conduct standard for unreasonable noise.
No countywide decibel limit or time-of-day restriction exists for leaf blowers. Landscapers operating in unincorporated Jefferson, Sharon, or Perry townships typically observe informal 8 AM to 7 PM hours. Commercial landscapers must comply with ORC 4511 equipment-noise rules when traveling on public roads.
