Showing ordinances that apply to Rincon Valley, AZ
Rincon Valley is an unincorporated community (population 5,612) in Pima County, Arizona. Because Rincon Valley is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Pima County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The decibel limits rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Pima County has no general decibel limits for unincorporated areas. Industrial zone performance standards exist. ARS 13-2916 uses a reasonable person standard for enforcement.
Pima County has not adopted a comprehensive noise ordinance with specific decibel limits for unincorporated territory. Unlike the City of Tucson, which has a detailed noise code with dBA standards, the unincorporated county relies on zoning performance standards for industrial zones and ARS 13-2916 for general noise enforcement. The zoning code sets performance standards at zone boundaries for industrial and commercial operations, but these are context-specific rather than universal dBA thresholds. The Pima County Sheriff Department responds to noise complaints under state law, which does not define specific decibel thresholds but instead uses a reasonable person standard. HOA CC&Rs in communities like Catalina Foothills and Tanque Verde may reference specific decibel levels but these are private covenants, not county ordinances.
ARS 13-2916 disorderly conduct: Class 1 misdemeanor, up to $2,500 fine and 6 months jail. Zoning performance standard violations handled through enforcement orders.
