Construction hours in Kissimmee, FL — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Sec. 22-25(e) limits erection, demolition, alteration, and repair of buildings to 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday–Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Outside these hours, construction noise is prohibited unless the designated official issues a permit.
Sec. 22-25(e)(1) sets the standard construction window at 7 a.m.-6 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays, and any noise during construction must also meet the Sec. 22-24 Table 1 caps (60/55 dBA at the property line of an adjacent residence). The designated official may grant a written permit for off-hour construction under Sec. 22-25(e)(2) when public health and safety are not impaired. Gas-powered equipment generally is restricted to 8 a.m.-8 p.m. per the Sec. 22-22(b)(1) exception. Vehicle-mounted sound equipment may never be operated at night. The 2023 Ord. No. 3070 rewrite tied the construction noise hours directly to the property-line decibel caps, eliminating the prior ambiguity.
Class C noncriminal infraction. Construction outside the permitted window or exceeding 60/55 dBA at an adjacent residential property line is enforceable under Sec. 22-26 with the Sec. 1-22(b)(8) sliding scale ($50/$100/$250/$500). Stop-work orders may be issued under Sec. 9-2 for repeat violations.
