Construction Noise
On April 12, 2021, City Council approved an amendment to adjust the days and times that noise generated by construction activity is exempted from the City’s noise ordinance. The goal of the amendment was to strike a reasonable balance between allowing construction activity and the peaceable enjoyment of property, particularly in residential areas.
As a result, the sounds produced by construction machinery, heavy-duty equipment, and machines and equipment used for construction, repair, cleaning and maintenance of buildings, streets, or public or private premises are exempt from the noise ordinance - even when they cause a disturbance - between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Sunday.
