Unincorporated Shasta County has no stand-alone outdoor-music ordinance. Outdoor music is governed by the General Plan exterior noise standards (lowered 5 dB for music), with larger events controlled through land-use approval and conditions, and disturbances handled by the Sheriff and the County nuisance code.
The County of Shasta (California) regulates outdoor music primarily through its general noise standards and land-use process rather than a dedicated music ordinance. Outdoor music must comply with the General Plan Noise Element (Section 5.11), which limits non-transportation noise at the property line of a noise-sensitive use to 55 dB hourly Leq during the day (7 a.m.-10 p.m.) and 50 dB at night (10 p.m.-7 a.m.). Because the Noise Element lowers those limits by 5 dB for noises consisting primarily of music or speech, outdoor music is effectively held to about 50 dB daytime and 45 dB at night at a receiving residence. Larger or commercial outdoor events - concerts, festivals, venues - may require a use permit or other land-use approval through the Shasta County Resource Management Department (Planning), and any conditions of approval can impose additional limits or cutoff times on amplified outdoor sound. For non-event outdoor music that disturbs neighbors, the County directs complaints to the Shasta County Sheriff's Office non-emergency line (530-245-6540) under California Penal Code Section 415, and persistent problems can be abated as a nuisance under County Code Chapter 8.28.
Permitted events that exceed the noise standards or violate their conditions of approval are enforced by the County through Planning and code enforcement and can be abated under County Code Chapter 8.28. Non-permitted disturbances are enforced by the Sheriff under California Penal Code Section 415.
