Construction hours in Davis County, UT — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Davis County sets no countywide construction-hour rule; cities do. Bountiful City Code 8-7-102 makes operating construction, repair, alteration or demolition equipment unlawful between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Other Davis County cities set similar overnight limits, so confirm your city's code and any permit conditions.
Construction noise is regulated at the city level in Davis County, not by a single county ordinance. Bountiful City Code 8-7-102(b) states that operating, or causing to be operated, any equipment used in construction, repair, alteration or demolition work on buildings, structures or streets is unlawful between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The same section restricts loading operations and commercial power equipment during those hours. Emergencies are exempt, and a temporary permit for relief from the overnight limits may be granted for undue hardship. Layton and other cities apply comparable disturbing-the-peace and permit conditions; large projects may carry stricter hours on the building permit.
City code violation; emergency work exempt. Temporary hardship permits available from the city manager with conditions on hours and location.
