Unlike many towns, the City of Peoria names blowers directly: Sec. 15-69 makes a blower plainly audible 50 feet away between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. a violation. Daytime use is fine, and Illinois has no equipment ban.
Peoria is unusual in regulating leaf blowers by name. Sec. 15-69 bars operating any 'noise creating blower, power fan, electric motor, or internal combustion engine' so as to disturb neighbors, and makes one plainly audible 50 feet away between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. prima facie evidence of a violation. Gas and electric blowers stay legal for daytime fall cleanup under the area's mature bluff-and-river-valley tree canopy; only the hours and the neighbor-disturbance test constrain them. Parking-lot sweeping and snow removal in business districts are exempt at all hours. Unincorporated county has no blower rule beyond general nuisance law.
Running a blower in violation of Sec. 15-69, mainly late-night use plainly audible 50 feet away, brings a City of Peoria ordinance fine set under Sec. 1-5. No daytime-use penalty exists.
