Sacramento County enforces the California Building and Residential Codes, which require smoke alarms in every sleeping room, outside each sleeping area, and on every story including basements. CO alarms are also required in homes with fuel-burning appliances or attached garages.
CRC §R314 (smoke alarms) and §R315 (carbon-monoxide alarms) are state law and apply automatically in Florin via SCC Title 16. At point-of-sale transfer of a single-family home, sellers must certify operable smoke and CO alarms per California Health & Safety Code §17926. Battery-only alarms must be 10-year sealed-battery units for new installations; hardwired with battery backup is required at substantial remodel.
Selling or renting a unit without compliant smoke / CO alarms exposes the owner to nuisance abatement and civil liability. Code Enforcement may inspect rentals on complaint.
