Section 36.408 prohibits operating construction equipment between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. and on Sundays or holidays (New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Christmas, and declared national/state holidays). A resident may run equipment on a Sunday or holiday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. only for their own home and not for pay. Even during allowed hours, Section 36.409 caps construction noise at an 8-hour average of 75 dBA at the property line, and Section 36.410 limits impulsive noise. Emergency work is exempt.
Operating construction equipment outside permitted hours is a violation of Section 36.408 enforced by County code officers and the Sheriff, generally charged as a misdemeanor; excessive construction sound also violates Sections 36.409-36.410.
