Yavapai County has no leaf-blower ordinance — no decibel cap, no time-of-day window, no gas-engine ban. None of the cities inside the county have adopted one either. Operation is bounded only by ARS 13-2904 (disorderly conduct).
Yavapai County has not enacted any ordinance specifically regulating leaf blowers in unincorporated areas. There is no time-of-day window, no decibel cap, no gas-engine ban, and no homeowner-vs-commercial distinction. Operation is bounded only by the general state disorderly-conduct statute (ARS 13-2904), which requires a finding that a specific leaf-blower use was "unreasonable noise" intended (or known) to disturb the peace — a very high bar. Yavapai County's incorporated cities (Prescott, Prescott Valley, Cottonwood, Sedona, Chino Valley, Camp Verde) have likewise not adopted leaf-blower restrictions. HOA covenants in master-planned communities may impose private rules separate from any government ordinance.
No county leaf-blower ordinance means no specific fines. Only ARS 13-2904 disorderly conduct applies — class 1 misdemeanor, up to 6 months jail and $2,500 fine — and requires proof of intent to disturb. HOA fines may apply privately.
