Construction hours in St. Michael, MN — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
St. Michael Code Sec. 91.18(AE) prohibits construction or maintenance activities that disturb the peace from sunset to 7:00 a.m. There is no separate weekend rule — the same window applies every day of the week. Emergency public-works, utility, flood, and snow-removal work are exempt.
Sec. 91.18(AE) is the city's only construction-hour rule. Because the cutoff is tied to sunset rather than a fixed clock time, allowable hours shift through the year — in mid-summer crews can work until roughly 9 p.m., while in December activity must stop by about 4:30 p.m. The rule applies citywide and to all trades (framing, roofing, concrete pours, paving, lawn equipment, etc.). The exemption for street, utility, flood-control, and snow-removal work covers Wright County and city public-works crews responding to public-safety needs. There is no permit process for after-hours construction in the city code; contractors must instead reschedule or risk a nuisance citation.
Performing construction work in violation of Sec. 91.18(AE) is a misdemeanor under Sec. 10.99 — up to $1,000 fine and 90 days in jail per Minn. Stat. § 609.02 — with each day treated as a separate offense.
