Construction hours in Mohave County, AZ — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Mohave County has no dedicated construction-hours ordinance for unincorporated areas; job-site noise falls under the general Chapter 14 rules. Cities set their own hours, and Lake Havasu City issues temporary permits for after-hours construction noise.
The unincorporated county doesn't fix construction start and stop times. Instead, contractors must stay within the Chapter 14 noise ordinance, which targets noise that disturbs a reasonable person and restricts vehicle audio overnight. Arizona's extreme summer heat pushes crews to start at dawn to beat afternoon temperatures. Incorporated cities regulate more tightly: Lake Havasu City requires a temporary use permit to run construction noise outside normal daytime hours, and Bullhead City and Kingman address it through their codes. Emergency utility repairs are treated as exempt.
Unincorporated county construction noise is enforced under the Chapter 14 ordinance as a Class II misdemeanor. City penalties and stop-work orders follow local code; unpermitted after-hours work risks fines.
