Shasta County, CA Public Conduct: Skateboarding Rules (2026)

60, added by Ordinance 2005-2 and Ordinance 2005-4, targets activity related to bicycles, skateboards, in-line skates and similar devices specifically on county property, a term the chapter defines as land the county owns or leases to deliver county programs and services, such as the grounds around the Shasta County Administration Center; it expressly excludes county roads, streets and easements built for vehicle traffic, so the ban covers county buildings and lots, not public streets generally. 020 makes it unlawful to ride, propel, or in any manner operate a bicycle, skateboard, scooter, roller skate or in-line skate on the parking surfaces, driveways, sidewalks and grounds of that property, with carve-outs for wheelchair users and peace officers on duty.

030, the director of public works must post signs giving reasonable notice of the prohibition at each site, and the chapter is not effective until such signs are in place there, so an unposted county lot is not yet covered. 040 makes the offense a strict-liability regulatory violation: prosecutors need not prove the rider knew the rule existed or saw a posted sign, because the board found the chapter necessary to protect public health, safety and welfare on county grounds.
