Mesa County, CO Noise from Specific Sources: Generator Noise (2026)

04(F)(4)(b) sets standards for every RV and temporary shelter occupied on a Rural or Urban Residential lot in unincorporated Mesa County, and two of its numbered provisions target generator noise directly. First, placement: no generator shall be located within fifty feet of a dwelling on an adjoining property. , generators shall be located so noise is not directed toward adjoining properties, and generators shall adhere to the noise limit requirements of Colorado Revised Statute Section 25-12-103. That statutory cross-reference pulls the state's maximum permissible sound levels into the county's RV standard, so a generator that is both outside the curfew window and far enough from the property line can still violate the rule if it exceeds the state's residential decibel limits.

04(F)'s occupancy package: a single RV per lot, a ten-foot building separation, propane tanks kept ten feet from ignition sources, and RVs prohibited from encroaching on required setbacks, all enforced through the same Chapter 11 violation process that governs the rest of the Land Development Code.
