Forsyth County has no leaf-blower-specific ordinance. Gas and electric blowers are legal in unincorporated areas, bounded only by the general noise limits in Code § 34-153, including the 70 dB(A) residential daytime cap and nighttime audibility rule.
Forsyth County does not single out leaf blowers, and Georgia sets no statewide restriction on gas-powered equipment. In unincorporated areas, landscaping crews run blowers freely, subject only to Chapter 34's general limits: the § 34-153 residential ceiling of 70 dB(A) by day and the ban on sound plainly audible 50 feet away between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Given Forsyth's dense, HOA-governed subdivisions, the practical constraints on blower use are usually HOA landscaping-hour rules and covenants, not county code. Cumming may regulate differently inside its limits.
There is no leaf-blower penalty. Running a blower loud enough to breach the § 34-153 limits, or before 7 a.m., is a county-ordinance noise violation; HOA covenants impose their own separate fines for off-hours landscaping.
