Tuolumne County has no noise ordinance regulating generator use. Generators are common and essential in the county due to frequent PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) during wildfire season and winter storm power outages.
Tuolumne County does not regulate generator noise through any ordinance. This is particularly relevant because generators are essential equipment in the county. PG&E conducts Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) during high fire risk conditions, which can leave communities without power for days. Winter storms also cause extended outages in mountain communities. Portable and permanent standby generators are common in Twain Harte, Groveland, Mi-Wuk Village, and other communities. Permanent standby generator installations require electrical permits. There are no county restrictions on hours of operation or noise levels for generators.
No generator noise violations. Permanent installation without electrical permit: building code violation.
