Palm Beach County does not restrict leaf blower type (gas or electric) in unincorporated areas. Operation must occur within general construction/landscaping hours of 7 AM to 7 PM and meet the 60 dBA daytime noise limit at the property line.
Unlike South Florida cities such as Miami Beach, PBC has not adopted a gas-leaf-blower ban. Commercial landscapers operating in unincorporated areas must hold a county business tax receipt and follow the noise ordinance hours under §10-103. Some HOAs in Wellington, Boca Pointe and PGA National impose stricter weekday-only or electric-only rules.
