Noise Regulation Bylaw

NOISE REGULATION BYLAW

Under the District of Squamish Noise Regulation Bylaw No. 2312, 2014, it is an offence for Construction Noise to be made from construction activity;

• before 7:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. on any day other than Saturday, Sunday or a statutory holiday; or
• before 8:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays or statutory holidays;

“Construction Noise” means any noise, sound or vibration made on or associated with a construction site including one’s own property:

• in carrying on work in connection with the construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, or demolition of any building structure or thing;
• in carrying on any excavation, filling or other operation; or
• in moving, or operating any machine, engine or equipment;

A Temporary Noise Exemption Permit may be obtained for those construction activities that are exceptionally noisy or for construction activity that must extend beyond the allowable hours because of exigent circumstances. 

• If you are planning any activities outside of these hours, you must apply for a Noise Exemption Permit (approval is not guaranteed).
• Permit fees apply. View the Noise Regulation Bylaw.

Please ensure all trades are in compliance.  

Construction work which does not generate noise is allowed outside of these hours.
