Construction hours in Schertz, TX — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
The county can't limit construction hours on unincorporated land - only cities can. Seguin, Schertz, and Cibolo restrict noisy work to daytime; elsewhere only Penal Code §42.01 addresses unreasonable noise.
Because Texas counties can't regulate noise, there are no county-set construction hours in unincorporated Guadalupe County; the only backstop is Tex. Penal Code §42.01 disorderly conduct. Cities set their own limits. Cibolo allows mechanically powered tools between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. as long as they stay under 85 dB(A) at the nearest residence. Emergency utility repairs by providers like GVEC are generally exempt. Deed restrictions or an HOA may impose stricter hours than any city code.
No county penalty applies on unincorporated land. Within cities, construction noise follows the local ordinance; Penal Code §42.01 disorderly conduct is a Class C misdemeanor, up to $500.
