Partial or Part-Year Ban Part-year gas ban

Ban status

Village Code Chapter 205 (Landscaping), § 205-3.1 — Seasonal ban on gas-powered leaf and garden blowers. Added 5-5-2008 by L.L. No. 8-2008; most recently amended 11-6-2017 by L.L. No. 11-2017. Gas blowers prohibited June 15 – September 15 (full summer). During September 16 – June 14, also prohibited on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays — permitted on weekdays only. Residential exemption: owners or renters of 1–3 family homes may operate gas blowers at their own residence outside the seasonal / weekend restrictions (commercial landscapers do not get this exemption). Village Engineer may grant temporary special permits ($35 each) for special circumstances and may declare storm-emergency moratoriums.

Enacted: 1991-05-06 In effect since: 2008-05-05

Significant exemptions:

Homeowner personal use — Owners or renters of 1–3 family homes may operate gas blowers at their own residence outside the seasonal/weekend restrictions; commercial landscapers do not get this exemption. Other — Village Engineer may grant temporary special permits ($35 each) for special circumstances.

Residential carve-out is the headline caveat: a homeowner can still run a gas blower on their own property on a weekend in April, even though a landscaper cannot. Green Industry Contractor registration is required separately under the same chapter. Penalties per Chapter 1 General Provisions Article II. Chapter is "Landscaping" — NOT the noise chapter that the 2008 seed text referred to; corrected here. Verified against eCode360 (Village of Tarrytown Ch 205 § 205-3.1).
