No Alabama statute and no Madison County rule single out leaf blowers. They run at any hour in unincorporated areas, bounded only by the county noise ordinance's 85-decibel daytime and 75-decibel nighttime limits under Ala. Code §45-45-174.
Leaf blowers face no dedicated rule in unincorporated Madison County. Gas and electric units operate freely in Hazel Green, Meridianville, and Harvest, checked only by the general decibel caps in the county noise ordinance, enacted under Ala. Code §45-45-174: 85 decibels by day and 75 decibels after 11 p.m. A blower breaching those limits near a home is a public nuisance. Tighter blower bans and hour windows are HOA and city territory. Huntsville and Madison can restrict them under Ala. Code §11-45-1, and deed-restricted subdivisions often set their own quiet hours.
No leaf-blower-specific penalty exists. A blower loud enough to breach the county decibel limits is a public nuisance under Ala. Code §45-45-174, fined up to $1,000 per day. HOA rules carry their own penalties.
