Construction hours in Pinellas County, FL — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Construction activity in unincorporated Pinellas County may not produce noise above 55 dBA between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Monday through Saturday, or at any time on Sunday, measured at the nearest property line.
Section 58-449 specifically governs construction noise. Outside of the protected nighttime and Sunday windows, normal construction equipment is permitted to operate, but unreasonably loud impulse noise is still actionable under the general prohibition in Section 58-444. Emergency repairs to utilities, hurricane response work, and government roadway projects may qualify for exemption when public safety requires immediate action. Hurricane-related repair work after a declared emergency is typically allowed outside normal windows when authorized by the county.
Stop-work orders, daily civil penalties, and revocation of permits for repeat violators on active building sites.
