Construction hours in Dunnellon, FL — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Construction work under a county development permit is exempt from the noise limits only when it occurs between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Outside that window, construction noise must meet the standard Chapter 13 sound limits.
Section 13-11(9) of Marion County Code exempts from the noise rules 'construction activities for which the county has issued a development permit, as defined in F.S. 163.3164, provided such activity occurs between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.' That time-window proviso means permitted construction enjoys no exemption overnight (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) and is then subject to the full Section 13-7 decibel limits and the Section 13-9 plainly-audible standard. Section 13-11(2) similarly limits the exemption for household and farming tools, appliances, and equipment to the 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. period. The exemptions apply to Section 13-10's prohibited acts.
Construction noise outside 7 a.m.-10 p.m. that exceeds Chapter 13 limits is enforced under Section 13-14: warning, then $100, then $500 civil penalties for repeat violations.
