Fresno County does not currently enforce a comprehensive dark-sky ordinance, but exterior lighting in rural and agricultural zones must be shielded to prevent glare and light trespass onto adjacent properties and roadways under Title 18.
Excessive light crossing onto neighboring property may be actionable as private nuisance under CA Civil Code §3479. Fresno County code requires exterior fixtures to be shielded so direct light does not leave the source parcel.
