Heavy RestrictionsHoliday Displays
Hesperia Municipal Code Chapter 16.36 (Sign Regulations) regulates signs, not seasonal residential decorations. Christmas lights, inflatables, jack-o'-lanterns, and yard décor on a private single-family lot are not 'signs' under §16.36 and require no permit. However, decorations may not block sidewalks, public right-of-way, or sightlines at driveways/intersections. Wildfire safety: PRC §4291 still requires 100 ft of defensible space — combustible decorations near structures in WUI zones can be flagged by CAL FIRE.
