Construction hours in Genesee County, MI — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
There is no countywide construction-hours rule. Each city or township sets its own. Flint exempts building erection, demolition, alteration or repair from noise limits between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on weekdays; work outside those hours needs a permit.
Genesee County does not regulate construction noise countywide; municipalities do, under their local ordinances. Flint's noise ordinance (§ 31-77) exempts construction from the general noise limits only within set hours: erection, demolition, alteration or repair of any building is allowed between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on weekdays, or at any other time only if a permit is secured from the Department of Building and Safety Inspection. Other Genesee communities such as Grand Blanc use different windows (Grand Blanc treats daytime as 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.). Confirm the specific hours with your city hall or township office before starting early or late work.
Enforced locally. Building outside Flint's permitted hours without a permit exposes you to the noise-article penalty: up to $1,500 fine or 90 days' jail.
