Full Breakdown

Yuba County Code § 2.110.190 prohibits operating any aircraft, in flight or on the ground, at Yuba County Airport in a manner that causes unnecessary noise as determined by applicable federal, state, or local laws and regulations. The rule sits in Chapter 2.110, the county's airport-use ordinance, which applies only to the Yuba County Airport and its surrounding operating area in unincorporated Yuba County: it does not reach general aviation noise elsewhere in the county or inside Marysville or Wheatland, each governed by its own municipal code. The Airport Manager administers the chapter and can restrict flights found to violate it.

Violations & Fines

Violating any provision of Chapter 2.110, including the noise rule, is a misdemeanor under § 2.110.100: up to a $1,000 fine, up to six months in jail, or both, with each incident a separate offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Yuba County noise rule cover all aircraft noise countywide?
No. Chapter 2.110 only governs operations at Yuba County Airport in unincorporated Yuba County; it doesn't create a countywide aircraft-noise limit or reach flights over Marysville or Wheatland.
What counts as 'unnecessary noise' under Section 2.110.190?
The code sets no decibel figure: it bars noise beyond what federal, state, or local aviation and noise laws and regulations otherwise allow, leaving the standard to those external rules.
Who enforces the Yuba County Airport noise rule?
The Yuba County Airport Manager administers Chapter 2.110 and can restrict flights or activity found to violate it; violations are misdemeanors under § 2.110.100.
