Construction hours in Folsom, CA — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Construction in Folsom is permitted Monday-Saturday 7 AM to 7 PM. No construction noise allowed on Sundays or legal holidays without a special permit from the Community Development Department. Interior work inaudible from property line may be exempt.

The rule applies to Folsom's historic district, Empire Ranch, Broadstone, and all residential zones including areas adjacent to the Intel Folsom campus.
