Construction hours in La Habra, CA — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
La Habra allows construction, repair, remodeling, and grading noise only between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on weekdays including Saturday. No construction is permitted on Sundays or federal holidays.
LHMC 9.32.070(E) exempts construction, repair, remodeling, and grading noise from the general noise standards, provided the activity does not take place between 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a federal holiday. This effectively sets permitted construction hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Deliveries, loading, and equipment operation at a construction site fall under the same window. Questions on construction hours go to the Building and Safety Division at (562) 383-4116.
Construction outside the 7 a.m.-8 p.m. window loses its noise exemption and becomes an enforceable nuisance under LHMC 9.32.
