Gas and electric leaf blowers are allowed in West Palm Beach during normal landscaping hours, 7 AM to 7 PM Monday through Saturday and 9 AM to 5 PM Sunday. No decibel cap specific to blowers, but Chapter 50 general noise limits apply.
Unlike Palm Beach (the town), WPB has not adopted a gas leaf blower ban. Operators must comply with general construction and landscaping hour restrictions. Commercial landscapers servicing HOAs around El Cid and SoSo neighborhoods are most frequently cited for early-morning operation before 7 AM. Contact West Palm Beach at (561) 822-1300 for enforcement.
Civil citation $100-$250. Commercial landscapers face escalating fines and potential business tax receipt review.
