Message From Code Enforcement: Ban The Blower!

Just A Reminder! The sale of Gas-Powered Leaf Blowers became illegal in Takoma Park as of July 1, 2024. Montgomery County has the same law in place.

• This is the first step in the City’s efforts to reduce the noise and pollution put out by gas powered leaf blowers.
• These blowers cause negative health effects for residents and workers.
• Discontinuing their use will improve public health, safety, and quality of life in Takoma Park.
•  Montgomery County has a rebate program in place to assist with the purchase of electric powered leaf blowers.

Both the City and Montgomery County will enact a law effective July 1, 2025 that bans the use of gas powered leaf blowers.
