We summarise every municipality's leaf-blower law as a single letter — S through G. The letter is derived from two facts in the database: what the law does (status) and how it does it (regulation basis).
Rows are the law's status. Columns are how the law is structured. The badge in each cell is the strength tier; the small number is how many places we currently track in that cell. Click a cell to jump to the corresponding section of the tracker.
If you just want the ladder, here it is.
Every leaf blower — gas and electric — banned year-round. Strongest possible rule.
Gas-powered blowers prohibited year-round; electric is unaffected.
Gas blowers off during quieter parts of the year, typically late spring through early fall.
Municipal crews must run electric. Private and contractor use unaffected.
Leaf blowers named in the ordinance with a decibel threshold; fuel-source neutral.
Property-line noise cap that constrains gas blowers in practice, but the ordinance does not name them.
Hours-of-operation rules with no equipment-specific limit.
Proposal under active consideration; no rule on the books yet.
No ordinance text constrains leaf-blower use.
Two database fields drive every tier:
A few cells in the matrix are empty by construction — a full ban can't be a "decibel cap" because the ban itself, not the noise level, is what does the work. Those cells render as —.
