Pennsylvania has no statewide leaf-blower ban, and Monroe County sets no countywide rule. Gas and electric blowers are legal, limited only by your township's noise hours and by POA community landscaping rules.
Leaf blowers are legal throughout Monroe County. Pennsylvania does not ban gas-powered blowers, and the county imposes no restriction, so use is governed only by each township's general noise ordinance — typically confining loud equipment to daytime hours — and by POA community rules. In large gated communities like Arrowhead Lakes, A Pocono Country Place and Penn Estates, association covenants and landscaping guidelines may set specific hours for lawn equipment. Commercial landscapers working the area's many second homes and rentals should confirm both township and community hours before starting.
No blower-specific penalties. Using one outside permitted noise hours is a township noise violation, commonly $100 to $500; POA communities enforce their own hour limits.
