Section 3482.5 of the Civil Code, and Sections 8114-2.1.1 and 8183-4.1 of the Ventura County Ordinance Code protect properly conducted commercial agricultural operations against claims that they constitute a nuisance. If the property you are purchasing is located near or adjacent to agricultural lands or agricultural operations, or is included within areas used for agricultural purposes, you may be subject to inconveniences or discomfort arising from agricultural operations. Such discomfort or inconveniences may include, but are not limited to: frost protection measures, noise, odors, fumes, dust, smoke, insects, operation of machinery (including aircraft), at any hour of the day or night, storage of equipment and materials necessary for normal agricultural practices, slow moving farm implements, and the application by spraying or otherwise of chemical fertilizers, soil amendments (such as manures, compost materials and mulches), and pesticides (such as herbicides, insecticides and fumigants). If you live near an agricultural area, you should be prepared to accept such inconveniences or discomfort as a normal and necessary aspect of living in a county with a strong rural character and an active agricultural sector.
