Construction hours in Mobile County, AL — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Unincorporated Mobile County sets no construction-hour limits. The county cannot zone or regulate work times, so building may proceed day or night, bounded only by the disorderly-conduct bar on unreasonable noise, Ala. Code §13A-11-7.
No Mobile County ordinance restricts construction hours in Theodore, Grand Bay, Irvington, or other unincorporated communities, because Alabama's Dillon's Rule denies counties that power. Crews can run early or late; the only backstop is Ala. Code §13A-11-7, which treats unreasonable noise as disorderly conduct. Cities set their own construction windows under Ala. Code §11-45-1, so a job in Mobile, Saraland, or Satsuma follows the municipal schedule while an identical job a mile outside the line does not.
There is no construction-hour penalty in the unincorporated county. Noise loud enough to qualify as unreasonable is a Class C misdemeanor under Ala. Code §13A-11-7.
