Construction hours in El Paso County, CO — sometimes called construction noise rules or contractor work-hour ordinances — set when contractors can run power tools, hammers, and heavy equipment.

El Paso County's Land Development Code does not establish specific permitted construction hours in unincorporated areas. Most construction activity in unincorporated El Paso County follows industry norms (roughly 7 AM to 7 PM on weekdays), but there is no formal ordinance enforcing these limits. Large developments may have conditions of approval that restrict hours. Complaints about particularly disruptive construction noise can be directed to county code enforcement. Contractors working near or within incorporated city limits should check the applicable city ordinance.
No specific construction-hour violations; chronic nuisance noise may be cited under general county nuisance provisions.
