Cuyahoga County has no county-wide construction hour ordinance for unincorporated areas. ORC 2917.11 applies for unreasonable noise. Typical practice limits loud construction to 7 AM to 8 PM weekdays and 8 AM to 6 PM weekends.
Cuyahoga County does not publish a construction-hours regulation in its general code because building permits are issued by the municipality of record. For the small unincorporated portions (primarily Metropark and institutional land), the state disorderly conduct statute ORC 2917.11 is the operative tool. Contractors working on county-owned projects follow contract specifications rather than ordinance.
Complaints routed to Cuyahoga County Sheriff. Unreasonable noise: minor misdemeanor under ORC 2917.11, fine up to 150 dollars.
