Provo has no leaf-blower-specific ordinance. Noise from landscaping equipment is exempt from the Chapter 9.06 noise restrictions when operated between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.; outside that window the general dBA limits apply.
No Provo ordinance specifically regulates or bans leaf blowers. Under Provo City Code Section 9.06.050(2)(h), noise from landscaping equipment operating between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. is exempt from the noise restrictions of Chapter 9.06. The same exemption subsection also covers snow-and-ice removal equipment (Sec. 9.06.050(2)(g)) and several other activities such as emergency vehicles, school events during specified hours, and compliant fireworks. Outside the 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. window, landscaping equipment is not exempt and must comply with the property-line dBA limits of Section 9.06.040 (for residential receiving property, 55 dBA between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. and 65 dBA between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.).
Operating landscaping equipment outside the 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. exemption in a way that exceeds the Section 9.06.040 dBA limits is a class B misdemeanor (Sec. 9.06.070(1)), with each occurrence a separate offense, and is a nuisance subject to summary abatement by restraining order or injunction (Sec. 9.06.070(2)).
