Sutter County has no leaf-blower-specific ordinance. Noise from residential property maintenance, including leaf blowers and mowers, is exempt from county noise limits between 7 a.m. and sunset; outside that window the standard exterior noise limits apply.
No Sutter County ordinance specifically regulates leaf blowers. Under Sutter County Zoning Code Sec. 1500-21.5-070(E), noise sources associated with maintenance of residential property are exempt from the Article 21.5 noise standards provided the activity takes place between 7:00 a.m. and sunset. Outside those hours, powered yard equipment must comply with the exterior noise standards of Table 1500-21.5-1 (45 dBA hourly Leq / 65 dBA max at noise-sensitive receiving properties at night) and the general prohibition on excessive, unnecessary or offensive noise in Sec. 1500-21.5-030.
Operating loud yard equipment after sunset or before 7 a.m. in a way that exceeds the exterior noise standards is an infraction and a public nuisance under Sec. 1500-21.5-090, enforced through written notice, corrective-action orders, and potential summary abatement.
