Construction hours in Troutdale, OR — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
TMC 8.24.050(A)(2) exempts commercial construction, street work, street repair, drilling, and demolition noise only when it occurs Monday-Friday 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., or Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Outside those windows the noise is presumed unreasonable.
TMC 8.24.020 defines 'construction, street work, street repair, drilling or demolition tools or equipment' as machines typically used on commercial construction projects involving more than routine repairs or work on residential property. TMC 8.24.050(A)(2) gives a complete weekday-Saturday-Sunday schedule, and work outside that schedule falls back under the general unreasonable-noise prohibition of TMC 8.24.035. Routine residential power-tool use is treated separately under TMC 8.24.050(A)(3) (domestic power tools, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.). Troutdale does not publish a decibel cap for construction; the chapter is structured around time windows and the plainly-audible standard.
Construction outside the TMC 8.24.050(A)(2) windows loses the exemption and becomes unreasonable noise under TMC 8.24.035, enforced by the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office through Troutdale municipal court.
