Humble Code Enforcement at (281) 446-4331 handles complaints.
The City of Humble has no dedicated leaf blower ordinance. Both gas-powered and electric models are allowed throughout the city for residential yard maintenance and commercial landscaping without permits, decibel limits, or time-of-day restrictions specific to this equipment. Texas state law does not impose leaf blower restrictions. However, persistent or unreasonable noise from any equipment — including leaf blowers — that disturbs the peace and comfort of neighbors could be addressed under Chapter 38 (Nuisances) of the Humble Code of Ordinances. Commercial landscaping crews regularly operate in Humble neighborhoods, particularly in areas surrounding George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). Complaints about excessively disruptive equipment use can be directed to Code Enforcement at (281) 446-4331 or Humble Police Department at (281) 446-7127.
No specific leaf blower violations exist in Humble code. Persistently disruptive use during nighttime hours could be cited as a nuisance under Chapter 38. Fines up to $500 per offense may apply for nuisance violations. Contact Code Enforcement at (281) 446-4331.
