Construction hours in McKinney, TX — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Construction in McKinney is permitted 7 AM to 7 PM Monday through Saturday, prohibited on Sundays and federal holidays. Contractor noise outside these windows requires a special permit from the Building Inspections department.
Per McKinney Code Chapter 62 and the Building Inspections policy, powered construction equipment including nail guns, saws, jackhammers, and heavy machinery may operate only during permitted hours. Emergency repairs (water main breaks, storm damage) are exempt. Large developments in Craig Ranch, Trinity Falls, and Stonebridge Ranch must follow the same limits unless a variance is approved. Interior finish work inside fully enclosed structures may continue later if no noise escapes the envelope.
Stop work orders can issue for unpermitted after-hours construction, plus fines of 200 to 1,000 per occurrence. Repeat offenders risk contractor license review.
