California AB 1346 (effective January 1, 2024) prohibits sale of new gas-powered small off-road engines (including leaf blowers) statewide. West Sacramento has not adopted a city-specific ban on use of existing equipment, so use is regulated through the §19.05 noise nuisance standard.
Existing gas-powered leaf blowers may still be used in West Sacramento but their operation is subject to the general 'loud, unnecessary, or unusual noise' nuisance rule of §19.05. Use during typical sleeping hours (before 7 a.m. or after 9 p.m.) is the most common trigger for complaints. Electric leaf blowers are widely encouraged. Blowing yard debris into the street or storm drain is a §13.10 stormwater violation.
Notice of violation; administrative citation for repeat or after-hours use; storm-drain debris is a §13.10 illicit-discharge violation.
