Galloway Township Code Chapter 253 does not name leaf blowers specifically, but restricts internal-combustion lawn mowers and chain saws to 7:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. Monday–Friday and 8:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Gas leaf blowers fall under the same disturbance rules.
Chapter 253 limits internal-combustion-engine lawn equipment by hour: lawn mowers and chain saws may operate 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Galloway's code does not single out leaf blowers with a dedicated section, but gas-powered blowers are still covered by the general prohibition on loud, disturbing and unnecessary noise, and by the New Jersey N.J.A.C. 7:29 sound-level limits. Residents seeking a blower-specific rule should contact Code Enforcement, since none is currently codified in Chapter 253.
Operating covered equipment outside the permitted hours violates Chapter 253: fine up to $2,000, up to 90 days jail and/or community service; each day is a separate offense.
