Construction hours in Williamson County, TX — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Unincorporated Williamson County sets no construction-hour limits; counties can't regulate work times. Early or late construction noise is actionable only if unreasonable under Tex. Penal Code §42.01, a Class C misdemeanor up to $500.
Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Leander enforce construction start and stop times through city ordinances, but that authority stops at the city limit. On unincorporated land, no county rule bars weekend or dawn hammering. The only backstop is state disorderly-conduct law, which requires the noise to be genuinely unreasonable near a residence, a higher bar than a fixed 7 a.m. start. HOA construction rules, common in Austin-metro subdivisions, are frequently the real constraint on builders.
No construction-hour fine exists countywide. Persistently unreasonable noise near a home can draw a Class C disorderly-conduct citation and a fine up to $500 after a deputy gives notice.
