Butler County has no countywide leaf-blower ordinance. Any hour or noise limits on leaf blowers come from your township (ORC 519) or city noise rules; otherwise ORC 2917.11 disorderly conduct is the only backstop.
There is no Butler County regulation specifically governing leaf blowers or other yard equipment. In the unincorporated area, townships regulate noise under ORC Chapter 519 zoning authority, and cities like Hamilton, Middletown and Fairfield set their own noise rules. Most Ohio jurisdictions that restrict yard equipment do so through general noise or nuisance ordinances rather than a leaf-blower-specific law. If your township or city sets no hours, using a leaf blower at an unreasonable hour that annoys or alarms neighbors could still be cited under ORC 2917.11 disorderly conduct. Confirm any local hour limits with your township or municipal office.
Enforced under local noise ordinances where they exist; otherwise ORC 2917.11 disorderly conduct, a minor misdemeanor with a fine up to $150.
