Leaf blowers and powered landscape equipment in Kapolei residential areas are limited to 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays and holidays under HAR 11-46.
Hawaii Administrative Rules §11-46 regulates powered landscape equipment within or 100 feet of residentially zoned land, covering the bulk of Kapolei outside its commercial cores. Homeowners, commercial landscapers, and HOA service crews must stop outside the permitted windows. DOH also enforces maximum dBA limits measured at the property line, which can restrict even daytime use close to homes. Hotel and resort grounds crews at venues such as Ko Olina-adjacent Kapolei properties commonly schedule early maintenance just after 8 a.m. to comply.
DOH administrative penalties up to $10,000 per day; HPD can cite under ROH §41-6 for disturbance.
