Sacramento County Code §6.68.070 sets cumulative dBA standards by receiving zone. In Florin (single-family residential zones such as RD-5 and RD-7), the limit is 55 dBA day / 50 dBA night. Multi-family receivers, commercial and industrial receivers have higher caps.
Florin sits in unincorporated Sacramento County so the County's exterior noise table applies: single-family residential 55/50 dBA day/night; multi-family residential 60/55 dBA; commercial 65/60 dBA; industrial 70/65 dBA. Lmax allowances permit short spikes above the cumulative L50 standard - e.g., +5 dB for 30 cumulative min/hour, +10 dB for 15 min/hour, +15 dB for 5 min/hour, and +20 dB for 1 min/hour. Measurements are taken at the receiving (complainant's) property line, not at the source. Interior receiver standards in §6.68.080 cap intrusive sound inside dwellings at 45 dBA day / 35 dBA night.
Exceeding §6.68.070 limits is a misdemeanor under SCC 6.68.140 - up to $1,000 fine and/or six months county jail. Administrative citations issued by Sacramento County Code Enforcement and EMD escalate from $100 to $500 per recurring offense.
