Burlington County sets no leaf-blower rule. Any restrictions on gas leaf blowers, permitted hours, or seasonal limits are adopted by individual municipalities in their local noise ordinances.
New Jersey does not impose a statewide leaf-blower restriction, and Burlington County has no countywide rule. Where limits exist, they are municipal: some townships restrict power lawn equipment and leaf blowers to daytime hours or ban commercial use during certain hours or seasons through their noise chapters. The state Noise Control Act (N.J.A.C. 7:29) regulates fixed facilities, not homeowner or landscaper equipment. Landscapers and residents should check their specific municipality's noise ordinance for allowed operating hours and any decibel or equipment-type limits before running gas-powered blowers early or on weekends.
Enforced by municipal police/code enforcement; fines are set by the applicable township noise ordinance.
