Construction hours in Cedar Park, TX — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Article 8.08 allows construction activity within 600 feet of an occupied dwelling only between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Outside that window construction noise must comply with the residential decibel caps (50 dBA / 60 dBC at night).
Cedar Park Code Art. 8.08 carves out a construction exemption from the standard residential decibel limits during daytime construction hours - 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. - when work is within 600 feet of a dwelling occupied as a residence. Outside those hours construction equipment must meet the same nighttime caps as any other source. Emergency repairs related to public health, safety, or welfare are allowed at any hour. Contractors needing to operate outside the construction window must apply for a Special Noise Exception with the Cedar Park Police Department at least 60 days in advance; the application fee is $50 and final approval is by City Council. Sound equipment in a motor vehicle is never eligible for a nighttime exception.
Construction outside the 7 a.m.-8 p.m. window without an approved exception is a Class C misdemeanor under Art. 8.08, punishable by fine up to $500 per day. Code Compliance (512-401-5100) and the Police Department share enforcement.
