Sacramento County has no ordinance specific to cryptocurrency or blockchain mining. A commercial mining operation is treated as a data center or industrial use, allowed in M-1, M-2, or M-P zones and bound by the same Zoning Code, CEQA review, and Chapter 6.68 noise limits.
Unincorporated Sacramento County does not single out cryptocurrency or bitcoin mining in its code. Because a mining operation is a room of servers and cooling equipment, it is regulated the same as any data center: sited in the M-1, M-2, or M-P industrial districts under the Zoning Code, subject to Design Review, a Special Development Permit for any setback deviation, and CEQA review for larger projects. Its cooling and any on-site generators must meet the countywide noise limits of 55 dBA day and 50 dBA night at a residential property line under Chapter 6.68. Small-scale hobby mining on personal equipment inside a home falls under ordinary residential and home-occupation rules, not industrial zoning.
No crypto-specific penalty exists. A commercial mining facility built outside an appropriate industrial zone, without required review, or exceeding the Chapter 6.68 noise limits faces Sacramento County zoning and noise enforcement and denial of permits until it conforms.
