Adams County sets no specific leaf-blower ordinance for the unincorporated area. Leaf-blower noise falls under the general Colorado noise statute (CRS 25-12-103): 55 dB(A) daytime / 50 dB(A) night residential, measured 25 feet beyond the property line.
There is no county time-of-day restriction or gas-blower ban in unincorporated Adams County. A leaf blower is treated like any other noise source and only becomes actionable if it pushes sound past the residential 55 dB(A) daytime or 50 dB(A) nighttime caps at the measuring distance, making it prima facie evidence of a public nuisance. Some Front Range cities have adopted or debated gas leaf-blower limits, so residents inside incorporated Adams County municipalities should check the city code; the unincorporated county has none.
No leaf-blower-specific penalty; excessive noise is abatable as a public nuisance under CRS 25-12-103.
