Sumner County has no leaf-blower-specific rule, and Tennessee sets no statewide equipment ban. Gas and electric blowers are legal in Gallatin, Hendersonville, and across the county, subject only to general noise limits and each city's quiet hours.
No Sumner County city singles out leaf blowers, and Tennessee has enacted no equipment-level restriction, so gas-powered blowers remain in common use across Gallatin, Hendersonville, Portland, White House, and the unincorporated county. A blower answers only to the same nuisance and quiet-hour limits as any other noise source, so running one during Gallatin's 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. residential window, or in the early morning near homes elsewhere, can draw a complaint or a disorderly-conduct citation under Tenn. Code Ann. §39-17-305. Commercial landscapers follow the same daytime windows their city applies to other powered yard equipment.
No leaf-blower-specific penalty exists. Running a blower during a city's restricted hours can draw a nuisance-ordinance fine, like any other noise disturbance.
