Sign in to Save Progress

  2. In support of University Park residents who want to enjoy small-town atmosphere without auditory intrusion of yard maintenance equipment and in support of the Town’s focus on sustainability and public health, an ordinance was passed in late 2021that took effect on January 1, 2024, banning the use of gas-powered leaf blowers.

    “Beginning January 1, 2024, it is unlawful for an owner or occupant of real property located within the Town, or any guest, employee or contractor of such person, to use gas-powered leaf blowers on that property.” To read the ordinance in its entirety visitwww.upmd.org/Legislation. Use of a gas-powered leaf blower on or after January 1, 2024, is a municipal infraction with a fine of $200 per occurrence. Please use only battery- or electric-powered leaf blowers in your yard. This prohibition and fine apply to homeowners as well as landscaping companies, so please ensure your contractors are aware of the prohibition.

    Potential violations may be reported by any person who observes a gas-powered leaf blower in use in the Town of University Park (excluding County Property such as UPES) with appropriate evidence, including photos or video being provided to support the claim. If you witness a violation of this law, please complete the complaint form.

    The complaint form must be submitted within seven (7) days of the alleged violation.
