2 rules for unincorporated Shawnee County, Kansas.
Verified from official government sources
Shawnee County has no dark-sky ordinance and does not regulate ordinary residential yard or porch lighting. Its Zoning Regulations control glare only through use-specific standards, such as requiring communication-tower security lighting to be shielded from neighboring property.
Shawnee County Zoning Regulations Sec. 26.17, Communication Towers
Security lighting around the base of a tower may be provided if the lighting is shielded so that no light is directed towards adjacent properties or rights-of-way.
Unincorporated Shawnee County sets no numeric light-trespass limit for homes. Its Zoning Regulations bar light and glare from crossing property lines only for specific uses, such as home occupations and bed-and-breakfast events, so most residential glare disputes are handled as private nuisance.
Shawnee County Zoning Regulations Sec. 29.02, Home Occupation Standards
The projection of any obnoxious sound, odor, smoke, vibration, light or dust is prohibited.
