Paulding County does regulate leaf blowers. Under Code § 46-62(14), blowers, mowers, trimmers, and chainsaws may run only 6 a.m.–10 p.m. weekdays and 7 a.m.–8 p.m. weekends in residential subdivisions, and equipment must have a working muffler.
Unlike many Georgia counties, unincorporated Paulding sets specific hours for lawn equipment. Section 46-62(14) covers 'residential domestic services,' including landscaping, yard maintenance, and domestic power tools such as chainsaws, lawn mowers, blowers, and trimmers. In residential subdivisions these may operate only between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, and equipment must have a properly functioning muffler. The rule does not apply to non-residential zoned property. Both the homeowner and the lawn-service provider can be held responsible. HOA covenants across Paulding's subdivisions may set stricter landscaping hours.
Running blowers or mowers outside the § 46-62(14) hours is a county noise violation enforced by the Marshal's Bureau and Sheriff. Both the property owner and the service provider may be cited; HOAs impose separate fines.
