Construction hours in Tyler, TX — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.
Tyler sets no fixed construction-hours window. Construction noise is governed by the Sec. 4-90 decibel limits (75 dB(A) day, 63 dB(A) night), and City-permitted work meeting building best practices is an affirmative defense to a noise charge.
Unlike cities with a strict 7 AM–8 PM construction window, Tyler regulates construction noise through its general noise ordinance (Sec. 4-90). The same decibel caps apply: 75 dB(A) daytime and 63 dB(A) after 10 PM. The code creates an affirmative defense for construction that 'meets the best practices of building construction' and has been permitted by the City. To qualify, the permittee must give notice to the Chief of Police and post the permit on-site. The City weighs project duration, methods, and public-safety need when granting a permit.
Construction noise exceeding the limits without a permit is a public nuisance under Sec. 1-4: up to $500, or up to $2,000 for zoning or health-related violations. Each day is a separate offense.
