Tulare County has no ordinance specific to cryptocurrency or blockchain mining. A commercial mining operation is treated as a data center or industrial use, sited in the M-1 or M-2 manufacturing zone and bound by the same Site Plan Review, CEQA review, and General Plan noise limits.
Unincorporated Tulare County does not single out cryptocurrency or bitcoin mining in Zoning Ordinance No. 352. Because a mining operation is a room of servers and cooling equipment, it is regulated like any data center: sited as an industrial use in the M-1 (Section 13) or M-2 (Section 14) manufacturing zone, subject to Planning Commission Site Plan Review, a Special Use Permit where the use is not clearly listed, and CEQA review. Its cooling and any generators must meet the General Plan Noise Element limit of 60 dB Ldn/CNEL at a residential zone boundary. 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 M-1 or M-2 zone, without required review, or exceeding the county noise limits faces zoning and noise enforcement and denial of permits until it conforms.
