Hernando County has no numeric light-trespass standard county-wide, but zoning site-plan rules require commercial and multi-family lighting to shield glare from neighbors. Residential floodlight disputes are handled as a nuisance through code compliance.
Hernando County addresses light that spills onto a neighbor's property mainly through zoning site-plan review and nuisance enforcement rather than a fixed foot-candle limit. Under Appendix A (Zoning), commercial and multi-family projects must aim and shield fixtures so light stays on their own site and does not glare onto adjacent homes or roadways. For house-to-house disputes, a floodlight or security light pointed into a neighbor's window is handled as a nuisance by Code Compliance, and can also be pursued as a civil nuisance. Decorative and holiday lighting is fine as long as it doesn't blind neighbors or drivers.
A glare complaint against a commercial site usually starts with a notice and a correction period to shield or re-aim the fixture, then escalating fines. Neighbor disputes may end in civil nuisance action.
