Construction hours in Navarre, FL — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Construction that exceeds the county decibel limits is prohibited between 9:01 p.m. and 5:59 a.m. within unincorporated Santa Rosa County. Outside those hours, construction may proceed even above the general dB(A) limits.
Section 14-171(c)(2) states no person shall conduct construction activity at noise levels above the decibel limits in Section 14-171(a) between 9:01 p.m. and 5:59 a.m. 'Construction' is defined broadly to include site preparation, assembly, erection, repair, alteration, or demolition of buildings or structures. During permitted hours, construction may exceed the standard limits. Emergency work needed to prevent imminent injury or significant property damage is fully exempt, as is work under a valid county special-events permit or authorization. These rules govern only the unincorporated county.
A specific-prohibition violation (Sec. 14-171(c)) carries a $150 penalty, doubling to $300 for a second offense and tripling for a third, which may also bring up to 60 days imprisonment. Each day is a separate offense.
