Construction hours in Madison County, AL — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Unincorporated Madison County sets no construction-hours curfew. Work may run day or night, but the county noise ordinance under Ala. Code §45-45-174 caps sound at 85 decibels by day and 75 decibels after 11 p.m.
No Madison County ordinance restricts the hours construction may run in Hazel Green, Meridianville, or Harvest, so crews can start early or work late. The limit is volume, not time: the county noise ordinance, enacted under Ala. Code §45-45-174, holds sound to 85 decibels during the day and 75 decibels after 11 p.m., so night work near homes must stay quiet. Cities set their own construction windows under Ala. Code §11-45-1, so a job inside Huntsville or Madison follows a municipal schedule the county does not impose.
Exceeding the decibel limits is a public nuisance under Ala. Code §45-45-174, carrying a civil fine of up to $1,000 per day. The county sets no separate construction-hour penalty.
