Jurupa Valley FAQ
Can Jurupa Valley restrict overflights or change flight paths?
No. The Federal Aviation Act preempts local control over aircraft in flight. Only the FAA can set flight paths, altitudes, and curfews.
Can I sue a neighbor flying a drone over my property?
Drone operation is governed by FAA Part 107 (commercial) and Part 89/Recreational Flyer rules. The City cannot regulate drone altitude or noise, but Cal. Civ. Code §1708.8 (physical invasion of privacy) may apply if the drone is used to record over private property.
Does Jurupa Valley have a noise-disclosure overlay for ONT flight paths?
Real-estate disclosures within an airport influence area follow the California Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (Pub. Util. Code §21670 et seq.) administered through the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission — not a City ordinance.
