2 rules for unincorporated Amador County, California.
Verified from official government sources
Unincorporated Amador County has no countywide dark-sky or outdoor-lighting ordinance. The Planning Commission approved a proposed dark-sky lighting ordinance in 2020, but the Board of Supervisors rejected it on a 3-2 vote in August 2020. Outdoor lighting in the unincorporated county is therefore largely governed by general nuisance principles and California's statewide Title 24 energy standards.
Unincorporated Amador County has no general light-trespass ordinance prohibiting light from spilling onto neighboring property. A proposed 2020 lighting ordinance that would have banned exterior lights from shining onto adjacent properties was rejected by the Board of Supervisors. Light spillover is currently addressed mainly through general nuisance principles and limited sign-lighting shielding rules.
