Las Cruces has no leaf blower-specific ordinance or time restriction. Leaf blowers fall under the general noise ordinance, which bans loud or unusual noise audible 30 or more feet from the source.
Las Cruces does not regulate leaf blowers by type, hours or decibel level, and there is no gas-blower ban. Their use is governed by the general noise provisions in Chapter 19, Article III, Division 2 of the Municipal Code: noise that is loud or unusual and disturbs others, judged by the 30-foot audibility standard, can be cited. Landscaping and yard work are not separately time-restricted the way construction is, so routine daytime blower use is lawful unless it becomes a persistent disturbance.
No blower-specific penalty; excessive or persistent blower noise is enforced as a nuisance by Las Cruces Police under the Chapter 19 noise ordinance.
