Tyler has no leaf-blower-specific ordinance. Gas and electric blowers are legal, but their noise must stay within the Sec. 4-90 limits — 75 dB(A) daytime, 63 dB(A) after 10 PM.
Tyler does not regulate leaf blowers by type, by hours, or through a dedicated ordinance. Gas-powered blowers are widely used and legal. Their only constraint is the general noise ordinance (Sec. 4-90): operating a blower loud enough to exceed 75 dB(A) during the day, or running one overnight past the 63 dB(A) limit, can draw a noise citation. Texas has enacted no state-level restriction on lawn equipment, and Tyler sits in East Texas outside the DFW ozone nonattainment area, so no local air-quality equipment rules apply.
No leaf-blower-specific penalty. Exceeding the Sec. 4-90 noise limits is a public nuisance under Sec. 1-4: up to $500 per offense, each day a separate offense.
