Duluth has no leaf-blower ban. Gas and electric blowers permitted during normal construction/yard work hours (typically 7 AM-7 PM weekdays, 9 AM-6 PM weekends). Must not violate general noise ordinance outside those hours.
Duluth's Code of Ordinances Chapter 14 (Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions) governs general noise, and the city has not adopted a dedicated leaf-blower ordinance like Atlanta's 2025 gas-blower phaseout. Both gas and battery/electric leaf blowers are allowed provided operation occurs during reasonable hours and does not produce plainly audible noise beyond property lines between 10 PM and 7 AM. Commercial landscapers must also comply with Gwinnett County business licensing and Georgia Code §16-11-34 disorderly conduct thresholds. HOAs in Sugarloaf Country Club, St. Marlo, and other Duluth subdivisions frequently impose tighter windows (e.g., no work before 8 AM Saturday, none Sunday). Duluth Code Enforcement (770-476-3434) responds to repeat-nuisance complaints.
Citation under Chapter 14 noise provisions; fines typically $100-$500 per occurrence; repeat offenders may be summoned to Duluth Municipal Court.
