Construction hours in Charlotte County, FL — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Charlotte County (Sec. 3-2-73) bars construction, demolition, and power-tool noise plainly audible across an inhabited residential property line between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Work is otherwise allowed any day; emergency work is exempt.
Ordinance 84-22, codified at Sec. 3-2-73, governs construction hours in Charlotte County's residential zones (RE, RSF, RMF, MHP and others). No machinery, demolition equipment, construction equipment, or power tools may run so as to be plainly audible across the property line of an inhabited residential property between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Daytime work - 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week - is unrestricted. Temporary pumps that must run 24 hours and emergency work to protect people or property are exempt. The county code enforcement board handles violations, and a short-duration variance can be sought from the Board of Zoning Appeals under Sec. 3-9-6.3.
Off-hours construction noise falls to the Charlotte County code enforcement board, using the same remedies as zoning violations. Contractors can request a variance for short-duration work only if strict compliance would cause demonstrable, undue hardship.
