Fillmore does not ban leaf blowers but restricts their use to daytime hours consistent with the noise ordinance. Both gas-powered and electric leaf blowers are permitted. California AB 1346 phases out sales of new gas-powered small off-road engines by 2024, but existing equipment remains legal.
Fillmore does not impose a separate leaf blower ban. Leaf blowers of all types (gas-powered and electric) may be used during permitted hours, typically 7 AM to 8 PM on weekdays and 8 AM to 6 PM on weekends. Use outside these hours may constitute a noise violation. California AB 1346 prohibits the sale of new gas-powered leaf blowers and other small off-road engines starting in 2024, but this does not ban the use of existing gas-powered equipment. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations apply statewide. Commercial landscapers using leaf blowers in Fillmore must comply with CARB engine standards and local noise hours. Electric and battery-powered leaf blowers are preferred as quieter alternatives.
Using leaf blowers outside permitted hours may generate noise complaints handled by the Ventura County Sheriff. Commercial landscaping companies operating outside hours face potential citations.
