Construction hours in Redding, CA — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
RMC 18.40.100(F)(2) sets seasonal construction-hour windows for work within 500 feet of a residential district. Weekday allowable hours run roughly sunrise to early evening, with tighter limits on weekends and holidays and a longer permitted day during the May-September period.
Section 18.40.100(F)(2)(a) restricts construction, drilling, repair, alteration, or demolition tools that create a noise disturbance across a property line whenever the work is in or within 500 feet of a residential district. The window is seasonal. From May 15 through September 15, work is prohibited on weekdays between 7:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. and on weekends and holidays between 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. From September 16 through May 14, the weekday prohibition runs 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and weekends and holidays run 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. Public-works construction by the City of Redding, County of Shasta, the State of California, or a CPUC-regulated utility is exempt under 18.40.100(H)(5). Emergency work and warning devices are also exempt under 18.40.100(G) and 18.40.100(H)(1). Site-specific construction conditions can be tightened by the Director under the Performance Standards in RMC 18.40.110(A)(2), which authorize noise-attenuation conditions on a project.
Construction outside the allowed window is a public nuisance under RMC 18.40.100(A)(3) and is enforced through administrative citation under Chapter 1.13. Repeated work outside permitted hours can also support stop-work orders by Building.
