California does not require automatic seismic gas shut-off valves in residential construction (unlike Los Angeles which requires them at any improvement over $10,000). Sacramento County follows the state minimum, so seismic gas valves are optional in Florin.
Seismic gas shut-off valves automatically close when the device detects ground shaking above a threshold (typically 5.4 magnitude equivalent at the site). California Health & Safety Code §19200 et seq. lets jurisdictions adopt seismic-valve mandates - Sacramento County has not done so. PG&E recommends but does not require valves. Cost is typically $250-$500 installed; permit and licensed plumber required to ensure compliance with NEC and CRC.
No code enforcement - valves are voluntary in Florin.
