Leaf blower operation falls under Oxnard's general sound regulation in OCC Article XI. Gas-powered blowers must comply with California's AB 1346, which phases out small off-road engines by 2024 for new sales. Blower noise must remain within allowable exterior sound levels at property lines. During quiet hours (10 PM to 7 AM), leaf blower use is prohibited in residential areas. Commercial landscapers must observe the same daytime-only restrictions and ensure equipment meets CARB emission and noise certification standards.
Leaf blower use during quiet hours or exceeding noise limits may result in code enforcement citations. Fines range from $100 to $500 depending on repeat offenses.
