All construction work may be conducted between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. each day. Any work performed outside these hours will be subject to the noise ordinance, and citations will be issued if not in compliance. For further questions, contact the Planning and Development department.

5. What are the permitted hours for construction activity? Construction operations, including the delivery of materials and equipment, which produce noise disturbances, are only permitted between the hours of a.m. to p.m. on weekdays and a.m. to p.m. on weekends.

Prima facie evidence of unreasonable noise: In residential areas between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., the generation of sound from any identifiable source that exceeds 50 dB(A) at the property line of an offended person shall constitute prima facie evidence of a violation of this chapter.

Construction noise is covered by Chapter 12.08. 440 in Title 12 of the County Codes. Most construction must take place between a.m. and p.m. during normal weekdays. However, emergency repairs may be performed as necessary.

Chapter 27 of the Texas Property Code governs construction defect claims. Contractors are liable to residence owners for deficiencies in the design, construction, addition, alteration, or repair of new or existing residences, as well as any appurtenances to residential property (other permanent improvements).

To file a lien claim, you will need: The amount owed for each month you performed the work that remains unpaid. A brief description of the work you performed. The original contractor's name (general contractor) and mailing address (only if you are a subcontractor or sub-subcontractor).

Generally, Texas imposes no specific requirement that a contract be in writing to be eligible for lien protection. However, prime contractors on homestead properties must have a written contract with the property owner to be able to secure lien rights on the project.

Creditors know that putting a lien on your property is a cheap and almost guaranteed way of collecting the debt they're owed. In some states, contractors and subcontractors must notify the property owner before filing a lien, but in other states property liens can be filed without any notice to the owner.

Contractors can file a lien on a property without a written contract in most cases. However, if the project in question is on a residential homestead property, a written contract must be filed in the local property records and is required to enforce mechanic's lien filing rights.
