Construction hours in Manteca, CA — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Manteca Municipal Code §9.52 restricts loud construction equipment to the hours of 7 AM–8 PM. Operating construction machinery that is plainly audible at the property line outside these hours is a violation.
Under MMC Chapter 9.52 Section K, the use or operation of any construction equipment between 8:00 PM and 7:00 AM that is sufficiently loud to be plainly audible at the property line is prohibited. This means standard construction hours are 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily. Public health and safety activities such as utility main repairs, debris removal after storms, downed wire repair, and traffic signal repair are exempt from the restriction. Regular testing of motorized equipment and pumps is not exempt.
After-hours construction: citation, potential stop-work order. Violations of MMC §9.52 are subject to municipal fines.
