Tuolumne County has no decibel limits or noise level ordinance. The county FAQ explicitly states no noise ordinance exists. Land development projects may be conditioned to specific dB standards through CEQA review on a project-by-project basis.
Tuolumne County does not regulate noise through decibel limits. The Community Development Department confirms that the county has no noise ordinance. However, many land development projects have been conditioned through CEQA environmental review to restrict construction days/hours and adhere to specific noise standards (typically 60-65 dB Ldn/CNEL for residential compatibility per state CEQA guidelines). These project-level conditions are not a general county noise code. For ongoing noise disputes between neighbors, residents must rely on California Civil Code nuisance provisions or contact the Sheriff's Office.
No county decibel limit violations exist. Project-specific conditions may be enforced through conditional use permits.
