Construction hours in Anderson, IN — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Anderson sets no separate construction-hours ordinance, but muffled lawn mowers, garden tractors and similar home power tools are exempt from the noise ban only between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Outside those hours such noise can be cited.
The Noise Control Ordinance (Ch. 94) does not carve out distinct construction-site hours. Instead, its exemption list (Section 94.45(B)) permits lawn mowers, garden tractors and similar muffled home power tools between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Loud, unnecessary noise from any equipment outside that window, or that disturbs neighbors, remains a prohibited public nuisance under Section 94.42. Legally established businesses get some latitude under Section 94.45(H) for sounds within the normal range for their use. Building permits and inspections are handled by Code Enforcement.
Escalating fines starting at $175 for a first offense, up to $1,000 for repeat offenses, with each day treated as a separate violation (Code § 94.99).
