Each entry shows the date we last checked it. Ordinances change, so confirm against the live municipal code before quoting any of this in a public meeting. Where we say a jurisdiction has no restriction, that usually means we could not find one, which is not the same as establishing that none exists.
State and local rules
Hawaii statewide
In urban land-use districts, leaf blowers and weed whackers in or within 100 feet of residential zones are limited to 8 a.m.–7 p.m. on ordinary weekdays and Saturdays, and 9 a.m.–7 p.m. on Sundays and state or federal holidays. Government leaf-blower use is exempt. Counties may adopt stricter rules.
