Construction hours in San Angelo, TX — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
San Angelo sets no dedicated construction-hours ordinance. Construction noise is governed by the general noise rule, Sec. 8.01.005, which makes work between 10:30 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. prima facie evidence of a disturbance.
Unlike some Texas cities, San Angelo does not codify specific daytime construction windows. Contractors and homeowners running equipment must instead comply with Sec. 8.01.005, which prohibits unnecessary, loud, unusual, or prolonged noise. Work generating noise between 10:30 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. is presumed to disturb neighbors, so heavy equipment, hammering, and power tools should be confined to daytime hours. The municipal court judges complaints against an ordinary-sensibilities standard, weighing intensity, duration, and the surrounding neighborhood. Necessary work, such as emergency utility repair, falls outside the 'unnecessary' noise the section targets.
Noise violations carry fines up to $500 under Sec. 1.01.009, with each day a separate offense. Repeat convictions fall under the general penalty schedule.
