Scott County and its cities don't ban gas leaf blowers. They fall under the general noise ordinance and quiet hours, so use them between about 7 AM and 10 PM and mind the MPCA property-line sound limits.
Neither Minnesota nor Scott County restricts gas-powered leaf blowers, and no local city has enacted a ban, though the topic surfaces periodically in Twin Cities suburbs. Blower use is governed by the general noise ordinance: keep it within daytime hours (typically after 7 AM and before 10 PM) and below the MPCA's residential sound limits at the property line. Commercial landscapers working across Shakopee, Savage, and Prior Lake follow the same quiet-hour windows. Fall leaf cleanup and spring yard work are the busiest complaint periods.
Using a blower during quiet hours can draw a noise citation, generally $100 to $300. Commercial operators may face higher fines.
