Construction hours in Marana, AZ — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Marana Town Code Section 11-5-4 sets construction noise hours based on distance from residential zones. Within 500 feet of residential: prohibited 7 PM to 6 AM weekdays, 7 PM to 7 AM Saturdays, 7 PM to 9 AM Sundays. Sites 500+ feet from residential: prohibited 8 PM to 5 AM. Grading and roadway work limited to 6 AM to 7 PM.
Under Marana Town Code Section 11-5-4, construction noise restrictions vary by proximity to residential zoning districts. Construction within 500 feet of any residential zone is prohibited between 7 PM and 6 AM Monday through Friday, between 7 PM and 7 AM on Saturdays, and between 7 PM and 9 AM on Sundays. Sites located more than 500 feet from residential zones face a less restrictive window, with construction prohibited only between 8 PM and 5 AM. Grading and roadway construction activities are limited to 6 AM through 7 PM regardless of zone proximity. Service trucks may perform maintenance on equipment until 9 PM. The division manager may authorize emergency work at any time. Sand and gravel mining operations and agricultural operations are exempt from these restrictions. Equipment used on construction sites must have properly functioning mufflers. Marana starts construction earlier than many cities due to extreme Sonoran Desert summer heat, allowing workers to avoid dangerous afternoon temperatures.
First offense: civil penalty. Stop-work orders for egregious or repeated violations. Unauthorized after-hours construction may result in code enforcement citation.
