Construction hours in Provo, UT — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Provo's noise ordinance Chapter 9.06 permits construction noise during daytime hours. Exemptions for special construction projects may be obtained by permit from the Mayor's office. Standard quiet hours of 10 PM–7 AM apply to construction as well.
Provo City Code Chapter 9.06 governs construction noise as part of the general noise framework. Construction activities generating noise above the 85 dBA residential limit during quiet hours (10 PM–7 AM) require a special exemption permit from the Mayor's office at (801) 852-6105. Special construction projects can be exempted, but the permit is issued with the condition that it may be revoked, and during the project the applicant must work with police if neighbors file complaints. Emergency utility and safety repairs are generally exempt. All construction equipment must be properly maintained to minimize unnecessary noise.
Work outside permitted hours without exemption constitutes a noise ordinance violation. Permits may be revoked for failure to cooperate with police during complaints.
