Clackamas County has no gas-blower ban, but Code 6.05.040(B)(12) prohibits operating any noise-creating blower, power fan, or internal combustion engine between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. when the noise is unreasonably loud in dwellings or noise-sensitive areas.
There is no county prohibition on gas or electric leaf blowers by type. Code 6.05.040(B)(12) makes it a per se violation to operate a noise-creating blower, power fan, or internal combustion engine between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. if the noise is unreasonably loud and received in dwellings or noise-sensitive areas. Daytime lawn and yard tools are separately permitted 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. under 6.05.060(I). The 50/60 dBA caps in 6.05.040(A) also apply to blower noise.
Overnight blower use is a per se violation. The Sheriff may cite the operator; respond within 14 days by paying the Board-set fine or requesting a hearing.
