Full Breakdown
Municipal Code section 11.05.020(8)-(9), enacted by Ordinance No. 2012-01, fully exempts construction located a quarter mile or more from any inhabited dwelling. Closer projects keep the exemption only by observing the seasonal curfews: no work 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. in summer months (June-September) and 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. in winter months (October-May). Work outside those hours must meet the strict Table 1 decibel limits, which is rarely feasible. Builders may request a construction-related exception from the Building Official under section 11.05.070 with no public hearing, and that decision is final. A November 2025 building code amendment lets the Building Official suspend or revoke a building permit when construction noise violates Chapter 11.05.
Violations & Fines
Out-of-hours work loses the exemption and is judged against the 55/45 dBA residential limits, with $200 to $1,000 escalating fines under section 11.05.080. The Building Official may also suspend or revoke the building permit in writing.
