Construction hours (new home, neighborhoods, zoning)

[himain]

I'm wonder what the laws for residental construction times are in Cabarras county? I know down in Miami you couldn't start before 7am and had to finish around 6pm I think. No sundays. Thanks for info

I doubt there are any residential construction laws at all.

Not sure if the construction hours are restricted. Have seem them work on Sundays too at some new home neighborhoods.

I think they have until 7pm here but be warned we have had them working till 10pm one night. I had to tell them enough is enough.

The noise ordinance in Meck County is 10pm 6am and applies to all noises over a certain decibel level with a special noise permit (such as for concerts). For construction it's 9-7:

Section 3. (a) It shall be unlawful to carry on the following activities in any part of the
unincorporated area of the County that is zoned for residential use, or within three
hundred (300) feet of any structure used as a residence in the unincorporated area,
regardless of its zoning classification:
(1) Operate a front-end loader for refuse collection between the hours of 9:00pm
and 7:00am.
(2) Operate construction machinery between the hours of 9:00pm and 7:00am.
(3) Operate garage machinery between the hours of 9:00pm and 7:00am.
(4) Operate lawn mowers or other domestic tools out-of- doors between the hours
of 9:00pm and 7:00am.
(5) Any mechanical noise which registers more than sixty decibels (60 db(A)) at
the nearest complainant’s property line will be probable cause for a violation.
