Sacramento County does not ban gas-powered leaf blowers but limits their use to the §6.68.090(h) maintenance window: 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends. Outside those hours, leaf blowers must comply with the residential noise caps (55 dBA day / 50 dBA night).
Florin landscapers can run gas blowers during the county-wide exemption window confirmed by the Sacramento County EMD Noise Control Program: 6 a.m.-8 p.m. Mon-Fri, 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Sat-Sun. Early-morning or late-evening blowing is the most common citation trigger. Note that California state law (AB-1346) phases out the sale of new gas leaf blowers but does not bar continued use of existing equipment, so the local hour limits remain the binding rule in Florin.
Operating a leaf blower outside the maintenance window is a Chapter 6.68 violation - typically a written warning then administrative citation (~$100). Repeat violations of the same section within 12 months escalate to higher fines and potential misdemeanor under §6.68.140.
