La Habra has no leaf-blower-specific ban, but gas-powered yard equipment noise is regulated under Chapter 9.32 residential noise standards and the property-maintenance hours in Section 9.32.070(I).
La Habra Municipal Code contains no dedicated leaf blower ordinance restricting blower type or a specific model ban. Instead, leaf blowers, mowers, and similar equipment fall under the Chapter 9.32 residential exterior noise standards (55 dB(A) day, 50 dB(A) night). LHMC 9.32.070(I) exempts property-maintenance noise only when it occurs between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on any day except Sunday or a federal holiday, and between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Sundays or federal holidays. Statewide, California SORE rules also phase out new gas-powered lawn equipment sales, but that is not a La Habra ordinance.
Yard-equipment noise outside the LHMC 9.32.070(I) maintenance hours loses its exemption and is enforceable as a nuisance.
