Construction hours in Citrus Heights, CA — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Construction noise in Citrus Heights is permitted Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and prohibited on Sundays and holidays. Work outside these hours requires a written exception from the Building Official. This aligns with Sacramento County regional practice and SMAQMD dust control protocols.
Citrus Heights Municipal Code §42 limits construction, demolition, grading, and loud repair activity to daylight hours. The permitted window is 7 AM to 7 PM Monday through Saturday. Sundays and federal holidays (New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas) are prohibited except for interior work that produces no sound audible at the property line. Contractors must post job site signs identifying the contractor, permit number, and allowed hours. Early-morning deliveries of concrete, steel, or heavy equipment before 7 AM require advance approval. Violations are enforced by code enforcement and may result in stop-work orders for repeat offenders. Homeowners performing DIY projects are subject to the same hour limits. Dust from construction must also comply with Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) Rule 403.
First notice: warning and stop-work if active. Continued work outside hours: $250 citation. Repeat: $500 plus potential permit suspension.
