(c) Commercial Power Equipment. Operating, or permitting to be operated, any power equipment, in excess of five horsepower.
Full Breakdown
Davis County and its cities do not have a dedicated leaf-blower ordinance or gas-blower ban like some California cities. The nearest rule is Bountiful City Code 8-7-102(c), which makes operating any power equipment in excess of five horsepower unlawful between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Typical residential leaf blowers are under five horsepower, so they are not directly captured by that overnight clause, but they remain subject to the general prohibition (8-7-101) on unreasonably loud noise that disturbs a person in their dwelling. Landscapers should keep blowing to daytime hours and away from early morning to avoid disturbing-the-peace complaints. Confirm any HOA restrictions separately.
Violations & Fines
General noise/nuisance citation if unreasonably loud; over-5-hp equipment barred overnight in Bountiful.
