Construction hours in Peoria County, IL — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Illinois fixes no statewide construction hours, so limits come from the city. Peoria's Sec. 15-69 flags powered blowers, fans, and engines plainly audible 50 feet away between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. The state noise law, 415 ILCS 5/24, bars disruptive noise crossing property lines.
No Illinois statute sets blanket construction hours, so Peoria works through its noise code and nuisance law. Sec. 15-69 makes the operation of any blower, power fan, electric motor, or internal combustion engine between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., plainly audible 50 feet away, prima facie evidence of a violation, though parking-lot sweeping and snow removal in business districts are exempt at all hours. Statewide, the Illinois Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/24) forbids emitting noise beyond your property line that unreasonably interferes with neighbors, enforced through the Illinois Pollution Control Board. Unincorporated county noise falls to the Sheriff.
Running noisy equipment in violation of Sec. 15-69 brings a city ordinance fine. Environmental noise violations under 415 ILCS 5/24 are handled by the Illinois Pollution Control Board with civil penalties.
