Waukesha County sets no leaf-blower noise ordinance. Any time-of-day or noise limits on gas or electric blowers come from your city, village or town's nuisance rules. Unreasonably loud early or late blowing can be cited as a public nuisance or disorderly conduct.
There is no leaf-blower provision anywhere in the Waukesha County Code, and Wisconsin has no statewide blower limit. Whether you can run a blower depends entirely on your municipality's nuisance ordinance and any local quiet-hours window. In the City of Waukesha, blower noise that unreasonably disturbs neighbors falls under Code 12.05's general noise-nuisance language. In consenting unincorporated towns the county zones land but leaves noise timing to the town, backed by Wis. Stat. 947.01 for unreasonably loud conduct. Practical guidance: keep blower use to daytime hours and out of any local quiet-hours period.
No county penalty exists. Local nuisance forfeitures apply where a municipality regulates blower noise; state disorderly conduct (947.01) is the fallback for disturbances.
