Construction hours in Marietta, GA — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Marietta Code Pt. 10, Ch. 10-6 — construction noise subject to general noise decibel limits. Industry practice and permit conditions typically restrict loud work to 7 AM–7 PM weekdays. Emergency work is exempt.
Marietta does not have a separate construction-hours ordinance; instead, all construction noise must comply with the general noise ordinance (Ch. 10-6) decibel limits: 65 dBA daytime, 60 dBA nighttime. Building permit conditions may impose tighter restrictions. Emergency repairs ordered by a government agency are exempt from noise limits. Contractors should plan major equipment use (excavators, compactors, concrete work) for standard business hours to avoid Code Enforcement citations.
